Created in partnership with The Rockefeller Foundation, the film embodies the Foundation’s century-long mission to improve human well-being through creative partnerships. The premiere will highlight the Foundation’s landmark $100 million commitment to provide nutritious meals to 100 million children worldwide—one of the largest global efforts to end child hunger in our time.
