The N.C. Research Campus in Kannapolis offers a free Learn and Live Film Series, showing "Food Stamped" on Feb. 20 and "Living Proof" on April 16.
"Food Stamped: Is It Possible to Eat Healthy on a Food Stamp Budget?" is an hourlong documentary by filmmaker Yoav Potash and his nutrition educator wife, Shira, who try to eat a healthy, well-balanced diet on a food-stamp budget of $21 per week. Along the way, they speak to members of Congress, food justice organizations, nutrition experts and people living on food stamps to get a better understanding of America's broken food system.
"Living Proof" is based on the 1998 book, "HER-2: The Making of Herceptin, a Revolutionary Treatment for Breast Cancer," by Robert Bazell, chief science and health correspondent for NBC News. The 2008 movie stars Harry Connick Jr. as Dr. Dennis Slamon, a UCLA oncologist and researcher who helped develop the breast cancer drug Herceptin from 1988 to 1996.
Both films will be shown at 7 p.m. in the Events Room of the David H. Murdock Core Laboratory Building, 201 N. Main St., Kannapolis. Each film will be followed by a discussion led by NCRC scientists and community partners.
