    Finding North

    There are many documentaries out there about hunger such as We Feed The World and Faces of Hunger. Each one exposes a different side of Hunger, by telling a unique story or showing its effects on communities. Hunger is an issue that has consistently been plaguing our society, and because of this it is often pushed into the back of our minds. There is documentary called Finding North that is apart of this years 2012 Sundance film festival. Sundance which is know for displaying, remarkable, vivid, and touching independent films, cites this film as one of the most moving in the lineup. It examines a variety of fronts in the hunger fight. It highlights the economic, social and cultural implications Hunger has for the United States. It follows three stories. Rosie, an endearing fifth-grader from a small town in Colorado whose family relies on handouts; Tremonica, an overweight second-grader from Mississippi whose poor diet is leading to health problems, and Barbie Izquierdo, 24, a mother of two struggling valiantly to put food on the table in Philadelphia. This documentary manages to blend shocking facts with personal experiences of the nutrition problems in this country. It seems like a truly magnificent piece and I urge you to check it out!

    What are you going to start?

    There are plenty of programs and groups that want to end hunger, stop famine, and fight poverty. It feels good to act “Superman” for a couple of hours and claim you’re doing something for your community and world. Yeah, ok, cool. But take credit for something more. Take credit for taking that passion inside and starting something on your own. No, not necessarily another group, but start by educating people at your school. Hosting a food drive. Becoming an Hunger Fighter. Break down the walls. The greatest love of all is helping each other. Don’t walk in someone else’s shadow, just start something new. Start a new Facebook page about tips on how to fight hunger. Host a food drive at your school. I’m not going to preach but,I mean, come on!!! There’s hundreds of things you can do! Can’t think of any? I feel you. Go to revolutionhunger.org and there’s loads of ideas on there. Yea, now you know!! So get to work playa!
