Film Overview

This short documentary features a day in the life of Willa Sparks; a woman who has to overcome the environmental obstacle of living in a food desert, an inner-city area without easy access to grocery stores. Determined to give her family the healthy food that every person deserves, Willa takes the hours-long bus ride every month just to get to the closest grocery store. If healthy food won't come to her, as her neighborhood is infested with fast food restaurants and corner stores, then she will go to it.
