Food Banks: Britain's Hungriest (2014) - Student Documentary

Focusing on interviews with local food bank volunteers and Sheffield MP’s ‘Food Banks: Britian’s Hungriest’ is a short documentary exploring the issues of food poverty and worrying rise of food banks being used by the UK public each year. Filmed and edited by media students from Longley Park Sixth Form College, this insightful documentary asks vital questions about how food banks have become a much needed resource for more than 900,000 people in the UK each year.

Rev. Louise Collins (Fir Vale Food Bank) and Nick Waterfield (Mount Tabor Food Bank), founders of two food banks in Sheffield, explain how they cope with providing increasing numbers of people with emergency food. The outcry for a solution to food poverty in the UK is also explored with David Blunkett MP (Sheffield, Brightside & Hillsborough) and Clive Betts MP (Sheffield, South East) both giving their reasons for supporting the work done by local food bank volunteers in Sheffield.
