"Serving people a plate of fresh food after a disaster is more than just about calories to fill them up. A hot meal is comfort, dignity, hope — a sign that someone cares and that tomorrow will be better. From Puerto Rico to the Bahamas to Mozambique, I’ve seen how important quick action and constant adaptation are to reach communities in need with the urgency of now," said Andrés of the project with National Geographic.
With behind-the-scenes footage from the front lines of crisis zones - including the kitchens and backrooms where local chefs work to feed affected people and first responders - the film really highlights the profound impact of restoring hope to those most affected, through food.
