Lunch Line


There will be a screening of this documentary on Friday, March 25th at the Martin Luther King, Jr. Performing Arts Center (at Charlottesville High School). Doors open at 6:30 pm and the screening starts at 7:00 pm. There will be a panel discussion following the film. Unfortunately, I'm going to miss this, but I encourage folks to go check it out. Here's the blurb:

"Lunch Line: a film by Uji Films

The documentary Lunch Line takes a new look at the school lunch program by exploring its past, its current challenges, and its opportunities for the future. The National School Lunch Program began in 1946, and now, more than 60 years later, the program feeds more than 31 million children every day. In the film, leaders from all sides of the school food debate, including government officials, school foodservice experts, activists, and students, weigh in on the program and discuss ways to continue nourishing America’s children for another 60 years."

The trailer can be seen here.
