    Food Justice is a wonderful documentary that was made by Twin Cities PBS, in conjunction with St. Paul - Ramsey County Public Health, and the Statewide Health Improvement Program. It focuses primarily on homelessness, poverty, and access to healthier foods. Here is a link to the website:  https://www.tpt.org/food-justice/. I believe you can watch the full film online. I do have a DVD copy in my office that I can share with those that are interested.
