Two Angry Moms Movie Screening & Panel Discussion

On Monday, May 23rd at 7:00 p.m., the Stamford School Readiness Council, in partnership with the Avon Theatre, Stamford Hospital, and the United Way of Western Connecticut, is bringing the acclaimed film documentary Two Angry Moms to Stamford.  Two Angry Moms chronicles what happens when two fed-up moms start a grass-roots revolution to bring attention to the need for nutritious food options in schools.  The film documents the efforts of leaders in the better school food movement, as they take on the system across the country.  Importantly, Two Angry Moms shows not only what is wrong with school food, but offers strategies for overcoming roadblocks and getting real food into school cafeterias.  A panel discussion immediately following the movie will begin at 8:00 p.m. and will feature:

  • Moderator ~ Dr. Madhu Mathur, Stamford Hospital
  • Dr. Dale Atkins, Licensed Psychologist (and frequent guest on the Today Show)
  • Dr. Sharon Akabas, Associate Director for Educational Initiatives, Columbia University
  • Amy Kalafa, Filmmaker
