Northern Manitoba: With a jug of milk ringing in at over $14 in some of the provinces lowest income communities, it's not difficult to imagine how grocery bills can account for up to 80% of the household budget or why Diabetes rates have hit 50% in some regions of the north. Local studies have shown that food insecurity rates in northern Manitoba are coming in between 70% and 80%. That's approximately eight times the national average. Poor diets and restricted access to fresh, healthy foods are having a devastating impact on peoples mental and physical health.

A Right to Eat follows regular families living in Northern Manitoba, in their fight to put healthy food on the table. It's a deeply intimate look at the frightening realities of food insecurity faced by two of Canada's most isolated northern First Nation communities and their courageous battle against hunger, disease, and dependency.
