SUMMARY:Invisible Epidemic - A Daniel McCain Documentary
DESCRIPTION:FULL CAMPUSES. EMPTY STOMACHS. HUNGRY FOR CHANGE. \n\n\n\nA Daniel McCain Documentary \n\n\n\nFree and open to the community! Stay after the screening for an engaging Q&A with Director of Student Support Vivi Meder and film director Daniel McCain. \n\n\n\nThe Invisible Epidemic is a powerful documentary that exposes the hidden reality of food insecurity on college campuses.

The documentary invites audiences to confront this overlooked crisis and consider meaningful solutions for change. \n\n\n\nWritten and directed by Daniel McCain \n\n\n\nExecutive Producers Hiram Larew\, Bruce Williams\, Daniel McCain \n\n\n\nProduced by William Little\, Quinn Stephenson\, Chrys Soto \n\n\n\nEdited by Daniel McCain \n\n\n\nCinematography by DANIEL McCAIN & Janelle Raymundo \n\n\n\nOriginal Music by Stephen Schneider \n\n\n\nSound Design by Katyann Stenner \n\n\n\nPoetry by Kim B.
