Invisible Epidemic - A Daniel McCain Documentary

FULL CAMPUSES. EMPTY STOMACHS. HUNGRY FOR CHANGE.

A Daniel McCain Documentary

Free 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.

The Invisible Epidemic is a powerful documentary that exposes the hidden reality of food insecurity on college campuses. While universities appear full and thriving, many students quietly struggle with hunger and lack access to basic nutrition. Through intimate storytelling and striking visuals, the film challenges assumptions about student life and calls attention to systemic gaps affecting student well-being. The documentary invites audiences to confront this overlooked crisis and consider meaningful solutions for change.
