The film explains how the World Food Program revealed in 2010 that more than 1 billion people worldwide are hungry due to increased food prices.

Also starring are Golden Globe winner Kathy Baker (1992, Best Actress in a TV Performance, Picket Fences), Katy Mixon (TV's Mike and Molly), Shea Whigham (TV's Boardwalk Empire), and, in her film debut, Tova Stewart.
