World Hunger


“A Fair Share: Working to End Hunger”

This video goes beyond numbers and statistics to show how hunger affects the lives of real people. The Murray family’s life paints a vivid picture of the challenges facing families trying to live at or near the minimum wage level. The suggested action involves support for the Hunger Relief Act which is currently moving through the U.S. Congress. (15 minutes)


“One Common Need”

We all face hunger every day. At the end of the day, 800 million people are still hungry. What is the difference between you and someone who is hungry? Listen to the experts who study hunger and to those who live with it. In their own words, they explore the scope, effects, and causes of hunger, and illustrate some working solutions.

The flexible format of this video (several self-contained six- to eight-minute segments) makes it easily adaptable by a study group in one or more sessions. (45 minutes)
