Manchester, VT The World Premiere showing of Kelly Moore’s documentary, “Nicaragua – On The Ground”, was held at the prestigious Northshire Bookstore, winner of the Publisher’s Weekly Annual Bookseller’s Award, in Manchester, VT on Wednesday November 12.
The film documents Kelly’s week-long journey as a US Delegate for the Friends of the World Food Program, visiting the United Nations World Food Program's operations on the ground in Nicaragua in July 2008, showing the difficulties faced by the Nicaraguans and the efforts and successes of the World Food Program. The documentary includes interviews with Karen Sendelback, President and CEO of the Friends of the World Food Program; and Margot Hoerrner, Vice President, Outreach, Friends of the World Food Program; as well as Community Coordinators of the Friends of the World Food Program who were part of the journey.
"Kelly is doing terrific work raising awareness at the grassroots for something that should be on the front pages”, said Chris Morrow, owner of the bookstore. “Hunger is a growing problem that has solutions - we just need action. Kelly Moore is a man of action!"
“I was quite pleased with the turnout and the incredible response to the film,” Kelly said later. “The Q&A session lasted an hour, and probably could have continued long into the night. People are really concerned about the situation of global hunger, here in the US and around the world, and want to know how to help.”
Presentations of “Nicaragua – On The Ground” are being scheduled around Vermont, New Hampshire and other New England States. The DVD of the film is available at the presentations and on the website as well, at www.musicformankind.net, with the proceeds being contributed to the UN World Food Programme – Nicaragua.
