Student-produced short film on food deserts 5/3/2010

Hi all:

We’re hosting a screening of the winning films from our second “Looking for Democracy" Film Contest, and as one of the films is about food deserts, I thought it might be of interest to some of you. Here’s a brief description of the film, produced by students in North Lawndale :

Hungry for Change by Free Spirit Media
How does an inner-city Chicago neighborhood cope with having one grocery store to feed underserved families? A group of ambitious filmmakers from that very North Lawndale neighborhood answer this question as they tackle the issue of living in a food desert. Partnering with Free Spirit Media, the group of students find out what's happening, who is responsible, and most importantly, what's next?

You can see this film and the other two winning entries American Flag and Democracy 2

what time is this one showing?

I don't have an exact time. The three films are all very short - about 5-10 minutes and I imagine they'll be shown right at the start of the program.
