Introduction and follow-up discussion led by restaurateurs and food activists George Weld and Evan Hanczor of Egg in Williamsburg. Catch the theatrical trailer here.
Presented in conjunction with BHS's exhibition, "Hidden in Plain Sight: Portraits of Hunger in NYC."

"In conjunction with BHS's exhibition Hidden in Plain Sight: Portraits of Hunger in NYC, we are proud to present a series of films focused on issues of food justice and equity. We begin the series with Peabody Award-winning King Corn, which looks at how government subsidies and industrialization in corn growth have affected farming (and eating) in the United States."

"Since 1996, the number of families in the United States living on $2 a day more than doubled. Kathryn Edin, Bloomberg Distinguished Professor at Johns Hopkins University and co-author of the book $2.00 a Day: Living on Almost Nothing in America, discusses poverty and hunger with Barbara J. Turk, Director of Food Policy for New York City.
Offered in connection with the exhibition, “Hidden in Plain Sight: Portraits of Hunger in NYC.”
