This 2014 documentary demonstrates effectively that all too many Americans go to bed hungry, and it highlights the efforts of heroic people who are trying to alleviate hunger at the local level. Volunteerism helps fill food pantries, fund food banks, and provides free hot meals to the needy. All those approaches help, but the film does not suggest the more important policy approaches to ending hunger, including strengthening such federal programs as SNAP, WIC, and school meals.
