Unequal Harvest by Geoff Hughes
In 2008, three nonprofit organizations; The Canadian Foodgrains Bank, the Manitoba Food Charter and Winnipeg Harvest, resolved to draw attention to the Global Food Crisis by commissioning Winnipeg playwright Geoff Hughes to write and direct an original work. ‘Unequal Harvest’ debuted before an enthusiastic Winnipeg audience on World Food Day, October 16.
The next year Geoff Hughes and Kami Desilets formed PeaceMeal Theatrical Productions. Now in 2010, the show is participating in the Ottawa, Winnipeg and Victoria Fringe Theatre Festivals to encourage debate around how to deal with growing numbers of undernourished people.

“Gripping and heartbreaking in equal measure, an urgent and compassionate call to understand the real lives and people behind the appalling statistic of a billion people going hungry”
