You don't have to be a fan of info-graphics in social-justice docs to be troubled by one showing that the price of processed food has decreased in almost exact proportion to the rise in cost of fresh fruits and vegetables. Mar 8, 2013 | Rating: 3/4

"A Place at the Table" presents a shameful truth that should leave viewers dismayed and angry: This nation has more than enough food for all its people, yet millions of them are hungry. Mar 7, 2013 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

One thing is clear from "A Place at the Table": You cannot answer the question "Why are people hungry?," without also asking "Why are people poor?" Mar 1, 2013 | Rating: B+ | Full Review…

It specifically addresses our country's hunger crisis. But it also speaks to larger hungers. Hungers for independence, a dignified life, a better chance for ones children-in short, the American dream. See it and weep. Mar 1, 2013 | Full Review…

That's one of the infuriating things about this documentary. It gives all of the information needed to pull at our heartstrings, but almost none needed to assess the problem clearly and think through possible solutions. Dec 13, 2018 | Rating: 1/4 | Full Review…

The saddest story belongs to a single mother who got a full time job and is now off welfare, but can't afford to feed her children on her salary. This is one of those movies that will make you mad, or at least it should. Dec 29, 2013 | Rating: B+ | Full Review…
