Award-winning film on NC food insecurity screens at the Libraries on March 23

The Libraries is partnering with the North Carolina Association of County Commissioners, the Wake County, NC State Cooperative Extension, and the NC State College of Agriculture & Life Sciences to show the award-winning documentary Resilience: Food for All and to host a panel discussion with elected officials and local leaders.

Resilience is a film that explores the challenges of food access in North Carolina and how heroes from all walks of life—including food growers, community volunteers, and county leaders—are working to strengthen food system resilience in local communities.

The free, public event will be held at the Hunt Library’s Duke Energy Hall on Thursday, March 23, at 5:00 p.m. Pre-registration is required and free, locally sourced food will be provided for attendees from 5:00 p.m.-6:00 p.m. The Libraries' Special Collections Research Center will also have a show-and-tell at the event.
