Lori Silverbush, director of the documentary film “A Place at the Table,” sees a new era in the fight to end hunger, as the first wave — free food distribution as a fast response to immediate need — gives way to a drive for public policy that addresses access and food education, and enables people to chart their own healthy-food futures. She is developing a multimedia campaign based on the film, and working with Food Policy Action, “a group dedicated to forming a genuine food movement — which doesn’t exist, really — that lobbies on behalf of this country’s eaters,” she said. She spoke with the NYTable staff about what a cohesive advocacy moment can accomplish.
