Living with Hunger

Charlotte Metcalf
UK 2003 51'

Sorious Samura set out to understand the stories of people living on the edge of starvation. He moved into a village in Ethiopia far away from the range of the UN and most NGO's. During two months he lived in a hut and survived on the same meagre diet as the rest of the villagers. Samura discovers that the reality for more than 40 million Africans is a diet ranging from nothing to a handful of weeds.
