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 (R)-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.

Review For A Place at the Table
Hunger in America is not about a shortage of food but an abundance of poverty. This is where the spiral spins downward.Rick Groen-Globe and Mail
A shocking indictment of how people are starving in the land of plenty ...
Linda Barnard-Toronto Star
You don't have to be a fan of info-graphics in social-justice docs to be troubled by one showing that the price of processed food has decreased in almost exact proportion to the rise in cost of fresh fruits and vegetables.
Lisa Kennedy-Denver Post
"A Place at the Table" presents a shameful truth that should leave viewers dismayed and angry: This nation has more than enough food for all its people, yet millions of them are hungry.
Walter V. Addiego-San Francisco Chronicle
One thing is clear from "A Place at the Table": You cannot answer the question "Why are people hungry?," without also asking "Why are people poor?"
Peter Rainer-Christian Science Monitor
It specifically addresses our country's hunger crisis. But it also speaks to larger hungers. Hungers for independence, a dignified life, a better chance for ones children-in short, the American dream. See it and weep.
Mary F. Pols-TIME Magazine
A must-see dispatch from the front lines of this struggle packed with sobering statistics and infuriating facts - among them, that one in four American children is chronically hungry.
Rick Kisonak-Film Threat
A smart, poignantly argued documentary [which] casts obesity and hunger as neighbors, and makes a persuasive case for important social investments.
Brent Simon-Shared Darkness
Enlightening documentary that, hopefully, propels people to take action.
Susan Granger-SSG Syndicate
Filmmakers Kristi Jacobson and Lori Silverbush chip away at the topic until their message becomes unassailable.
Chris Knight-National Post
It doesn't offer much in terms of optimism, but provides an eye-opening glimpse into a frequently overlooked social issue.
Todd Jorgenson-Cinemalogue.com
Jacboson and Silverbush know how to make this potentially unpleasant news palatable and inspiring.
Dan Lybarger-KC Active
Food for thought.
Kelly Vance-East Bay Express
A documentary about the shocking extent of hunger in America, affecting 1 in 4 children.
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat-Spirituality and Practice
Provides plenty of moving case studies...[but] it's most useful for its prismatic look at the problem of American hunger, examining the problem's recent history, its root causes...and its inextricability from other national crises...
Peter Canavese-Groucho Reviews
Hunger in America, seen through the eyes of its victims, with an emphasis on children. Sobering documentary addresses a shameful problem.
Daniel Eagan-Film Journal International
As moving as the real lives are, for a film clearly intending to be a call for action, hunger cries out for more journalism and not just depressing stories and statistics.
Nora Lee Mandel-Film-Forward.com
A Place at the Table makes a strong case that hunger for one is a problem for all.
Billy Tatum-Paste Magazine
Directors Kristi Jacobson and Lori Silverbush explore the surprisingly difficult obstacles to ending a situation where about 1 child out of 4 faces insecurity over where to get a meal.
Charles Ealy-Austin American-Statesman
A Place at the Table may bring to light a hunger epidemic the entire United States faces, but it also casts an even darker shadow on an already tainted world.
Chris Sawin-Examiner.com
Powerful docu explores the problem of hunger in America.
