In the sci-fi documentary Hungry, a  mysterious Being in a near future investigates a world devoid of human life and determines to unravel what led to the extinction of humans and almost all lifeforms. By using voice recordings they retrieved from the past – interviews made by filmmaker Susanne Brandstaetter with prominent scientists before the extinction – the Being creates their own documentary, a film revealing surprising connections about what led to the deterioration of the environment and food security, 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 incites to positive action: both the Being's insights and the interviews tell us how to break this vicious cycle before it’s too late. Hungry is an urgent call for the systemic change that can prevent this desolate tomorrow from becoming our today.
