A Place at the Table Movie Review

Im glad that I was able to go vigil the screening last week because the movie truly emphasized on the alarming situation in our country. I usually dont like watching films that are relative to what happening to our nation tho this movie really showed an impact to me. Its a national disgrace than most 50 million of our American neighbors live in homes that cant afford comely food. This compelling film explains why we have this problem, and, most importantly, what we can do to eat up it.I think every iodine in America should see this film because it emphasizes how larger-than-life the problem is. The movie powerfully displayed the real lives of actual people whom were attempt against hunger. And every single one of these individuals defied a common stereotypes of hungry people. I believe that many Americans believe that we can end U.S. hunger one person at a time, one donated perishable frank at a time. They are all acting as a good Samaritan but they are wrong, as this film pr oves.When Ronald Reagan entered office in 1981, at that place were only a few hundred essential feeding programs in America, most of which were traditional soup kitchens serving mostly the people who had been historically the most hungry, the single men with substance abuse or psychic illness problems. Yet, as a direct result of the economic policies and genial service cuts set in motion by Reagan, the number of emergency feeding programs in America skyrocketed, and continued to do so rase after he left office.There are now more than 40,000 such programs in America, and roughly two-thirds of them are food pantries, where parents and their children, the elderly, and working people restrain free groceries. Meanwhile, hunger has soared. The truth is that these agencies simply dont have anything close to the resources require to meet the demand. This vital film proves that the only way to truly end U.S. hunger is by advocating for fundamental change that include living profits jobs and a robust government safety net.
