Zero Hunger Film Screening

We would like to invite you to a screening of a new documentary, Zero Hunger, about the devastating and escalating hunger crisis in Ethiopia.

Filmed in Tigray, Ethiopia and in London – and featuring an original in-depth interview with Bob Geldof – Zero Hunger powerfully explores the question ‘can there be a solution to world hunger?’

This special documentary shows how a deadly combination of war, poverty and drought has resulted in the threat of a new famine. Amidst so many challenges in Tigray, the film also reveals hope, through the determination of those who choose, each day, to rise up against the odds stacked against them – a dedicated group of Sisters who turn a simple school meals programme into a lifeline for thousands of refugees, formerly wealthy families reduced to begging for food and still choosing forgiveness, children who share their only daily meal with others.

More dates and locations will be added soon. Follow us on Facebook and Instagram for updates.
