Fighting Hunger, One Movie Screening at a Time.

Leadership II is screening the film The Starfish Throwers along with FiRe Films on Tuesday, December 16th from 11:00 am to 12:30.

The screening will be at the Park City High School Lecture Hall, which seats 211 people. Leadership II students, LEAP (Learning Experiences Activities and Programs) students, along with a mix of classes from Treasure Mountain will attend.

People planning to attend are being asked to bring canned food and/or an unwrapped gift for The Christian Center’s Operation Hope project.

Introducing the screening will be Sharon Anderson Morris, the Executive Director of FiRe Films.

The Starfish Throwers follows a five-star chef fighting against the Indian caste system, a twelve-year-old girl with a non-profit organization aimed at ridding the world of hunger, and a retired middle school teacher who battles with personal health issues as he hands out a thousand plus sandwiches each night to the hungry. Throughout the film, although they recognize that hunger is an issue too big for one person to conquer, they continue to reach for their goal of witnessing a ripple effect of their actions that will carry the impact even further.
