widespread hunger crisis facing America and to encourage attendees to get

the powerful stories of three Americans who face hunger on a daily basis,
maintaining their dignity even as they struggle just to eat. The film has

Americans, including nearly 100,000 in Connecticut, one of the wealthiest
states in the nation.
