Description
A documentary chronicling the response of five rural Wisconsin food pantries to the unprecedented needs of their communities during the coronavirus pandemic. This film, directed by Jim Winship and co-produced by Jim Winship and Parker Winship, tells the story of the hard work, ingenuity, and compassion of these organizations while also exploring the complex and longstanding challenges of fighting hunger in rural America. What We're Hungry For has been an Official Selection at seven film festivals, including Morehouse College Human Rights Film Festival, Milwaukee Film Festival, and Ceres Food Film Festival, where it was honored with the "MOVED US MOST Award."
Community Screenings
The documentary has been shown in ten community showings throughout Wisconsin. Each screening was followed by a discussion, led by representatives of local food pantries and advocacy organizations, concerning hunger and food insecurity in the community and strategies to mitigate these issues.
