A Place at the Table Movie Review

Im glad that I was able to go watch the screening last week because the word-painting truly emphasized on the alarming situation in our country. I usually dont like watching photos that ar comparative to what happening to our nation but this movie legitimately showed an impact to me. Its a national disgrace than nearly 50 million of our the Statesn neighbors conk in homes that bottomlandt afford enough victuals. This compelling film explains why we ware this problem, and, most importantly, what we can do to end it.I think every iodine in America should see this film because it emphasizes how big the problem is. The movie powerfully displayed the real lives of actual people whom were struggling 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 good at a time. They are all playacting as a good Samaritan but they a re wrong, as this film proves.When Ronald Reagan entered office in 1981, there were only a few hundred emergency feeding programs in America, most of which were traditional soup kitchens dowery mostly the people who had been historically the most hungry, the single men with depicted object abuse or mental illness problems. Yet, as a shoot for result of the economic policies and social service cuts set in motion by Reagan, the number of emergency feeding programs in America skyrocketed, and go on to do so even 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 obtain free groceries. Meanwhile, hunger has soared. The truth is that these agencies manifestly dont have anything close to the resources needed to meet the demand. This vital film proves that the only way to truly end U.S. hunger is by advocating for fundamental permute that i nclude living wage jobs and a robust government sentry duty net.
