In the sci-fi documentary Hungry, a mysterious Being in a near future sets off on an expedition to investigate a world devoid of human life and find out what led to the extinction of humanity. The Being determines to unravel what led to the decline and elimination of almost all lifeforms. By using voice recordings retrieved from the past – interviews that filmmaker Susanne Brandstätter made with prominent international experts and scientists before the elimination events – the Being creates their own documentary: Hungry. Their film mounts a chain of evidence revealing surprising connections about what led to the deterioration of the environment, to the biosphere, to crops, to decline in democracies and finally to the extinction of humankind.

In the end, it seems there was no more possibility to heal either humanity or the world.   Or not?

 In a closing twist, the last shot of the Being's film reframes everything we’ve seen.

Hungry conveys a passion that incites to positive action: the visuals and the voice recordings of the scientists and experts deliver a convincing argument: this vicious cycle can be broken before it’s too late. Hungry is an urgent call for the systemic change that can prevent this desolate tomorrow from becoming our today.
