HUNGER WARD: On the Frontlines of Hunger in Yemen
Join the World Affairs Council of Charlotte on Tuesday, April 6th at 7:00pm ET for an exclusive documentary screening of Oscar® nominated HUNGER WARD followed by a conversation between Pulitzer Prize winning journalist Nicholas Kristof and Academy Award® nominated filmmaker Skye Fitzgerald.

This program is presented in partnership with the World Affairs Councils of America, Vulcan Productions, Spin Film, and Ryot Films.
