When he spoke in Holland last month, Bread for the World President David Beckmann said that religiously-rooted Western Michigan might just be the epicenter of a national movement on hunger.
Join us, then, as we and CROP present:
WHAT: Showing of the video "The Line"
WHERE: Western Theological Seminary
     Library, 6th floor
WHEN: Thursday, 11 October, 7 pm

The first half hour of our time will be used to distribute CROP checks. We'll run the video at about 7:30 pm. Refreshments will be provided! We hope to see you there.

Written and directed by Emmy award-winning producer Linda Midgett, The Line chronicles the very real stories of four real people struggling with real poverty in America today. We'll meet a former banker in the suburban Midwest who used to earn six figures a year and now, after the economic collapse, must go to a food bank to feed his three kids; a fisherman on the Gulf Coast of Louisiana who has watched his livelihood and his culture wash away in the wake of Hurricane Katrina and the devastating BP oil spill; a blue collar guy in North Carolina who worked hard his whole life but lost his job, became homeless, and started over as a restaurant bus boy; and a single mom in Chicago who battles daily to ensure that her son is safe, healthy, and has the opportunity to go to college.
