The Braddock Food Bank

Since 1981, Carl Martin of Atlantic City has collected and donated food to the Braddock Food Bank to help the plight of the unemployed in that Pennsylvania town. It is his way of showing gratitude to the steel workers who helped clean up Atlantic City after a devastating flood. The filmmaker, however, faces a moral dilemma which is presented through still photographs and intertitles. Should he raise money to make a film about Carl Martin and the Braddock Food Bank or solicit funds for food to support Braddock's sorely needed charitable organizations? In the end, the viewer is asked to decide.
