"If another nation was doing this to our children, we’d be at war."
"As important and eye-opening a documentary as you’ll see this year... [A] terrific call to action..."
"It’s specifically addresses our country’s hunger crisis. But it also speaks to larger hungers. Hungers for independence, a dignified life, a better chance for one’s children – in short, the American dream."

"A film that should make you furious."
"The documentary proves its worth most by how it treats the moral and political issues around the hunger crisis."
"POWERFUL. More than an eye-opening portrayal of hunger in America, it’s also a call to action."
"A BEAUTIFULLY SHOT, POIGNANT FILM."
"Makes a strong case that hunger for one is a problem for all."

"Makes a strong case that hunger for one is a problem for all."
"SHOCKING"
"A film that should make you furious"
"Is a shocker even for those of us in a potential audience that think they’ve heard everything about poverty amidst plenty."
"A PLACE AT THE TABLE forcefully makes the case that hunger has serious economic, social and cultural implications for the nation."
"The film explains with devastating simplicity why so many go hungry in a country with more than enough food to go round."
"Filmmakers Kristi Jacobson and Lori Silverbush present these facts in A HIGHLY POLISHED PACKAGE, intercutting real-life stories of people struggling to find sufficient food with interviews with policy experts and celebrities who have made hunger their cause."
"BEAUTIFULLY SHOT AND EDITED. THE CRAFT IS OF A VERY HIGH LEVEL"
"The Sundance Film Festival is chock full of documentaries this year about the troubles besetting America ... but A PLACE AT THE TABLE may rank AMONG THE MOST MOVING in that it tackles a seemingly straightforward, solvable problem: hunger in the United States."
"A POIGNANT FILM ABOUT HUNGER IN THE UNITED STATES"
"A PLACE AT THE TABLE is an ENGAGING AND ENRAGING movie that will enlist supporters for its cause."
"A PLACE AT THE TABLE doesn't offer any answers. Instead, it asks you to help find them by getting involved, which is the mark of an EXCELLENT DOCUMENTARY."
"How can you be both hungry and obese? It's a paradox that more and more people in the United States are beginning to understand, and a question that's convincingly answered in Finding North, A PROVOCATIVE DOCUMENTARY about hunger within America's own borders."
About The Film
50 Million Americans—1 in 4 children—don’t know where their next meal is coming from. A Place at the Table tells the powerful stories of three such Americans, who maintain their dignity even as they struggle just to eat. In a riveting journey that will change forever how you think about the hungry, A Place at the Table shows how the issue could be solved forever, once the American public decides—as they have in the past—that ending hunger is in the best interests of us all.
