Jim Winship took the long road to becoming a documentary film director. In many ways, his debut feature,  What We're Hungry For , about rural Wisconsin food pantries and the obstacles they faced during the COVID-19 pandemic, was 50 years in the making. His social work career, specializing in poverty and food insecurity, started in the early ‘70s with the Peace Corp in El Salvador. Afterwards, he worked for a social service agency in Columbus, Ohio, where he met his wife, Rita. They moved to Athens, Georgia where he helped start a food pantry and earned his masters and doctorate at the University of Georgia.
