Watch SBS on Tuesday Night: The Growing Anger of Hunger

By the end of 2008, the number of malnourished people on theplanet had risen to 963 million.

The Growing Anger of Hunger is a documentary to be screened on SBS television on Tuesday 28 April at 8:30 pm.

"This film looks behind the headlines of the food riots which have occurred in the last few year around the world, attempting to find possible explanations and solutions through investigations in Senegal, Haiti, Thailand, Japan, Mexico and India. It also shows how the major international decision makers are currently responding to the crisis. In early 2008 in Cameroun, three days of rioting left 40 people dead. Around the world, over 30 other countries have witnessed similar riots.

This hunger is not due to famine, drought or war but to the soaring prices of basic food sources. It is a food crisis, and it impacts on everyone. In the poorest countries it's a matter of survival, in the wealthier countries it's called a rise in the cost of living"
