Chicken a la Carte

I recently came across this video in one of my fellow blogger’s post and I must admit that it is very touching.

This 6 minute short film made by Ferdinand Dimadura in 2005 won the “People’s Choice” award at the 56th Berlin International Film Festival, in the Most Popular Short Film category.

Every time one wastes food, this reminds you of those lesser fortunate people for whom food is still a “luxury”. The children crowding around the food bag, the lady of the house setting out the dining table for their meal, the man ensuring they thank God for the food they received that day, before they eat, are all heart wrenching.

A large portion of a society lives merely in the “hope” of food everyday!

Take a look at the video. I am sure it will move you too.
