Stay after the film for an expert panel discussion about food insecurity issues across the state of Indiana
A new documentary film, The Working Hungry, will be shown at 7 p.m. on Thursday, Feb. 16 at New Joy Lutheran Church, 316 W. 156th St., Westfield, and followed by a panel discussion by many community leaders about food insecurity and hunger in Indiana.
The Working Hungry is a 30-minute film built around the stories of three families, and through them the stories of more than 700,000 people across the state of Indiana. Most of these are working families, and their hunger is hidden from those around them.
The compelling documentary asks why, in a time of low unemployment and food abundance, is food insecurity and hunger so prevalent and what can be done. The Working Hungry will dive deep into the reality of food insecurity in Indiana, and what more could be done to destigmatize the conversation, more clearly understand underlying causes, and truly end hunger.
Following the showing at New Joy Lutheran Church, The Working Hungry and relevant discussions will take place statewide hosted by over 30 organizations. Information about all upcoming showings can be found at Indy Hunger Network.
The Working Hungry is made possible by Ascension St. Vincent, Indy Hunger Network, and with additional support from Dave and Robin Miner, Steve and Cindy Gillman, and Brandt and Christine Lawson.
