Finding North Trailer

Synopsis: 49 million people in the U.S. -- one in four children -- don't know where their next meal is coming from, despite our having the means to provide nutritious, affordable food for all Americans. Directors Kristi Jacobson and Lori Silverbush examine this issue through the lens of three people for who are struggling with food insecurity: Barbie, a single Philadelphia mother who grew up in poverty and is trying to provide a better life for her two kids; Rosie, a Colorado second-grader who often has to depend on friends and neighbors to feed her and has trouble concentrating in school; and Tremonica, a Mississippi second-grader whose asthma and health issues are exacerbated by the largely empty calories her hardworking mother can afford.
Their stories are interwoven with insights from experts including sociologist Janet Poppendieck, author Raj Patel and nutrition policy leader Marion Nestle; ordinary citizens like Pastor Bob Wilson and teachers Leslie Nichols and Odessa Cherry; and activists such as Witness to Hunger's Mariana Chilton, Top Chef's Tom Colicchio and Oscar®-winning actor Jeff Bridges.
Ultimately, FINDING NORTH shows us how hunger poses serious economic, social and cultural implications for our nation, and that it could be solved once and for all, if the American public decides -- as they have in the past -- that making healthy food available and affordable is in the best interest of us all

instead of the U.S going off over seas we must try to take care of our own problems first victims of hurricane katrina are still struggling, there are tons of white collar people living down south in the mid west and they are struggling and you know what they are looking for jobs and its hard. This movie sheds light on what the real state some people are having to live in. Celebrities are so caught up in saving Africa while that is good lets try saving the starving kid right on our doorstep.
