Heartfelt Photographs Of Hope And Hunger
The solution to hunger starts with us. A selection of images submitted to National Geographic from its photo community, Your Shot .
This month, National Geographic is asking their readers to submit photos that depict hunger and hope via its online photo-sharing platform, Your Shot, until Nov. 30. At the end of the submission period, a panel of editors including National Geographic photographer Annie Griffiths and acclaimed chef Mario Batali will handpick their favorites for an online story. Here are a handful of submitted images along with some of Griffiths' taken while on assignment with Feeding America:
"My mother was making breakfast on a summer morning and she was breaking eggs. I told her to hold her hands up while breaking one of the eggs."

"In Firebaugh, California, needy families arrive in the middle of the night to wait in line for food distribution the next day. Many sleep in their cars after placing carts and boxes out as placeholders. Drought conditions have led to job loss and food insecurity in this, one of America's most important agricultural regions."

"Baby Marietta shares an apple with her mother after picking up fresh groceries from a food delivery site. Her young parents share a chilly trailer in rural Tennessee with their three children. Her mother cried when she spoke about how much the food they receive helps them survive."

This Woman Has Lived For 100 Years But Just Saw The Ocean For The First Time
“It’s cold!”
Ruby Holt lived her entire life in Tennessee, spending years working on a farm, then working in a shirt factory, and raising her four children. But she'd never been to the ocean.
Holt said she was always too busy or never had enough money to travel.
AP Brynn Anderson
When the caregivers at Holt's assisted living facility found out, they filled out an application for her with the non-profit Wish of a Lifetime, which grants wishes to elderly people.
AP Brynn Anderson
This past week, Wish of a Lifetime drove Holt a short 400 miles from her home in Giles County, Tennessee, to stay at the Perdido Beach Resort at the Gulf of Mexico.
Holt said she'd only previously left her home state once before.

With the help of health care aids, she even tentatively stuck a bare foot in the cold, clear water.

“Mockingjay – Part 1” Has Lowest “Hunger Games" Franchise U.S. Debut
The film’s $123 million domestic opening weekend is also, however, the best of the year. Hollywood is weird sometimes.

Only in Hollywood could making $123 million in three days ever be seen as a disappointment.
That is the unusual fate befalling The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1, which opened to that lofty estimated figure at the domestic box office this weekend. While $123 million is good enough to give the movie the biggest U.S. debut of 2014 — besting the June opening of Transformers: Age of Extinction — it is also the lowest debut for the Hunger Games franchise by a hefty margin. The Hunger Games opened at $152 million in March 2012, and its sequel Catching Fire debuted with $158.1 million this time last year, one of the biggest opening weekends ever at the box office.
But Mockingjay – Part 1's debut represents a 22% drop from Catching Fire's record-breaking high. Frigid weather in much of the U.S., and a lack of IMAX screens (currently booked for Interstellar) could account for a portion of the drop off. Some audiences could have been wary of the film's darker tone, while others could have been turned off by Lionsgate's decision to follow in the footsteps of big franchises that came before it, by splitting Suzanne Collins' novel into two parts, extending the franchise — and the box office receipts — for another year.
Whatever the reasons for Mockingjay – Part 1's relative drop in box office returns, however, it's another representation of 2014's domestic box office slump: Returns in the U.S. are down 4.9% from this time a year ago, and 6.4% from 2012.
Internationally, however, the box office picture for Mockingjay – Part 1 is far rosier: The film took in an estimated $152 million in 85 overseas markets this weekend. Not only is that the first time a Hunger Games movie has grossed more in its opening weekend overseas than in the U.S., but Mockingjay – Part 1's foreign box office earnings actually improved on Catching Fire's international debut by roughly 4%.
The overseas market has been a wildly potent area for growth for the Hunger Games franchise in general. Catching Fire's $440.2 million foreign total improved a whopping 55% over the first film's $283.2 million international gross. While Mockingjay – Part 1's overseas box office almost certainly won't improve at that same magnitude, the movie is on a far more welcome trajectory for its international distributors.
As for Lionsgate — which distributes the Hunger Games films in the U.S. as well as bankrolling the productions — there is always hope for Mockingjay – Part 2, opening Nov. 20, 2015.
Here are the estimated top 10 box office figures for Friday to Sunday, courtesy of Box Office Mojo:
1. The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1* — $123 million
2. Big Hero 6 — $20.1 million
3. Interstellar — $15.1 million
4. Dumb and Dumber To — $13.8 million
5. Gone Girl — $2.8 million
6. Beyond the Lights — $2.6 million
7. St. Vincent — $2.4 million
8. Fury — $1.9 million
9. Birdman — $1.85 million
10. The Theory of Everything — $1.5 million
