"This Urban Film Festival screening of episode one looks at why so many in Cleveland face food insecurity and a lack of consistent access to enough food for an active and healthy lifestyle," said Nolan- Jones. "More importantly, the film highlights the compassionate actions of many Clevelanders working to address these food challenges, not just by giving out food, but by creating a caring and supportive community.
