It is with great excitement that we share our short documentary on Well Fed: A Student Food Project. Current research indicates that across Australia, up to 53% of tertiary and vocational students are food insecure. Food insecure students experience greater hurdles to academic achievement, as well as isolation due to more limited social interactions and a range of mental and physical health problems. Well Fed: A Student Food Project is about more than “food relief”, it’s about teaching good-life skills through food. Well Fed breaks down barriers preventing disadvantaged students from successfully completing their studies through a unique and dignified model to promote food security and wellbeing. This is Well Fed! A film by Marcelo Paternoster Coordinated by Patrick McMillin and Savannah Supski Graphic design by Luke Pringipas Funded by City of Melbourne and Victorian Health Promotion Foundation (VicHealth). And supported by Showtime Event Group, RMIT University, RMIT University Student Union, Good & Fugly, Open Table, Pierogi Studio, Fruit Talk, Cargo Crew, Sweet Bakes, SecondBite and Just Let us Eat.
