As part of their ongoing coverage of the food movement, The Huffington Post gives kudos to WOYP. Sadie and Safiyah "have the most genuine sort of curiosity," they say. "And they astutely ask all the right questions."

Out of all the agri-exposé documentaries, ranging from Super Size Me to Food, Inc., What's on Your Plate is one of the most hopeful. Directed by Catherine Gund and narrated by her daughter, Sadie Hope-Gund, and Sadie's best friend Safiyah Kai Riddle, What's on Your Plate is an upbeat movie that, while not downplaying the crippling effects of processed food on our health, gives viewers hope and solutions toward an alternate future.

In “What’s on Your Plate?” Sadie and Safiyah, who are two eleven-year-old, African-American city kids, go on this journey to understand their place in the food chain. The film is inspired by them looking at food and going around to stores and seeing, “Where does this food come from?” Like, “Why are we getting potatoes from Canada, when there are potatoes grown 100 miles away?” And along the way they talk to farmers and food activists and policy makers and, most importantly, their peers.

The excellent blog Alternative Films for Kids wrote us up back in June, and we thought we'd tell you about it.
