Food Justice: Resources

Hungry to Learn (2021)

Introduces the faces behind an American crisis - college students so strapped to pay tuition that they don't have enough money to eat or a place to live. A lack of food is just a symptom of a bigger problem: the American Dream of a college education slipping out of reach. It is the story of how colleges, once places for children of privilege, opened their doors to students of limited means but failed to provide enough financial aid to allow these new students to graduate without making painful choices. This documentary is not just about the devastating hunger crisis unfolding on American campuses. It is about what can - and should - be done about it.

Kiss the Ground (2020)

A revolutionary group of activists, scientists, farmers, and politicians band together in a global movement of "Regenerative Agriculture" that could balance our climate, replenish our vast water supplies, and feed the world.

Food, Inc. 2 (2024)

Reunite with investigative authors Michael Pollan and Eric Schlosser in a timely and urgent follow-up sequel to the groundbreaking Oscar®-nominated documentary FOOD, INC., and take a fresh look at our vulnerable food system. FOOD, INC. 2 reveals how corporate consolidation has gone unchecked by our government, leaving us with a highly efficient yet shockingly vulnerable food system dedicated only towards increasing profits. The film seeks solutions by innovative farmers, food producers, workers’ rights activists, and prominent legislators to create a more sustainable future.

Dolores (2017)

Dolores Huerta is among the most important, yet least known, activists in American history. An equal partner in co-founding the first farm workers unions with Cesar Chavez, her enormous contributions have gone largely unrecognized. Dolores tirelessly led the fight for racial and labor justice alongside Chavez, becoming one of the most defiant feminists of the twentieth century - and she continues the fight to this day, at 87. With intimate and unprecedented access to this intensely private mother to eleven, the film reveals the raw, personal stakes involved in committing one's life to social change.

Fertile Ground (2020)

Fertile Ground takes a look at the extensive impact that industrial food systems currently have on Americans. The film follows advocates in Jackson, Mississippi, who are using localized efforts to address food insecurity in under-served communities, shining a light on the potential for a healthier future through efforts to convert to communal, localized food systems.
