Portman Hungry in America

Last Sunday, vegan actress Natalie Portman partnered with The Feed Foundation, a hunger organization that works through the United Nations World Food Programme, to host a star-studded fundraiser to help finish production of Hungry in America, a documentary directed by Lori Silverbush and Kristi Jacobson. The event was held at New York’s Colicchio & Son’s restaurant, owned by Top Star chef Tom Colicchio, who prepared one of his vegan specialties, a potato flatbread pizza. The evening also marked the launch of the Hungry in America Project, a multi-media campaign to increase public awareness about the country’s systemic hunger issues.
