Lunch Line

2010-01-01

Lunch Line follows six kids from one of the toughest neighborhoods in Chicago as they set out to fix school lunch -- and end up at the White House. Their unlikely journey parallels the dramatic transformation of school lunch from a patchwork of local anti-hunger efforts to a robust national feeding program. The film tracks the behind-the-scenes details of school lunch and childhood hunger from key moments in the 1940s, 1960s, and 1980s to the present.
