I Am Hungry In Philadelphia: The Many Faces of Food Insecuri

The city of Philadelphia needs little introduction, the birthplace of the country, home to ‘Rocky’, cheesesteaks, some of the finest restaurants in the country, and the biggest city park in the world. The film will begin with the familiar, a quick look at the things everyone knows but it will then shake things up with a raw, uncompromising view of the country’s poorest big city.
We will then introduce the problem by discussing it through interviews with local and federal officials, professors, medical professionals, advocates, people out on the streets working towards a solution, and finally, first-person accounts of what it is like to live not knowing where your next meal will come from.
