Millions of people around the world don’t have enough to eat. Millions of people will see the hit movie The Hunger Games. Set in a post-apocalyptic world, the film deals with social issues including poverty, starvation, and the effects of conflict. Hollywood is teaming up with the World Food Programme and WFP’s Bettina Luescher told UN Radio’s Julie Walker why.
