Join ICPJ to screen Hunger No More on Tuesday, September 23 at 6:30 p.m. at Memorial Christian Church

Hunger No More: Faces Behind the Facts is a National Council of Churches documentary about world hunger. Most of us don’t often ask where our next meal is coming from. But for millions of Americans and nearly a billion people worldwide, such food insecurity is a daily reality. “Hunger No More: Faces Behind the Facts” approaches hunger from the perspective of faith, declaring that hunger is more than a social issue.

“It is a moral issue that needs immediate resolution,” says Burton Buller, President of Mennonite Media, who produced the program in collaboration with the NCC. “The program brings to life the moral dimension of this thorny issue, and offers up a vision for a new day when hunger is eradicated from the face of the earth.”

Join community members for an engaging film, insightful discussion, and opportunities for action on this important issue. FREE and open to the public. All are welcome to RSVP and bring a dish to pass, but this is not required.

Tuesday, September 23, 2008. Dinner will begin at 6:30PM, and the movie will be at 7PM. Located at Memorial Christian Church, 730 Tappan, Ann Arbor. Questions? Want to RSVP? Contact Jaimie Philip at 734.663.1870 or jaimie@umich.edu
