This powerful documentary explores the reality of food poverty, child hunger, and families struggling to afford food in modern Britain. Following real children and mums living on the breadline, it reveals the heartbreaking truth behind empty cupboards, food banks, and the rising cost of living crisis. From skipping meals just to keep the heating on, to parents going without so their children can eat, this film shows the daily challenges of low-income families, single mums, and households facing financial hardship. Through honest and emotional interviews, children share what it feels like to go to bed hungry, while mums open up about the constant pressure of trying to feed their families with little or no money. This is the hidden reality of poverty, food insecurity, and struggling families — and it’s happening closer to home than you think. 🔔Subscribe for more: https://bit.ly/3oNs1Lv Watch More Below Full Documentaries: https://bit.ly/3r0BGBD NEW On Origin: https://bit.ly/37dq4UC Pregnancy Timelapses: https://bit.ly/3r389ap The Biggest Families: https://bit.ly/2VXXkGJ Parenting Documentaries: https://bit.ly/3m10TpX

If you can afford alcohol and cigarettes, you may need to change your priorities.
After losing my job last year, I had to go to the food bank for about 3 months. It was a literal life saver. Now that I'm employed again, I try to donate to the pantry that I got my food from in my time of need. It was eye opening being on the "other side" and I try to donate as I am able to. So many families struggling
I ate food today, several times even - I am so grateful for that! Bless these kids. I hope they are O.K....
All people should have food, they should have healthy food, poisoning foods should be illegal. People should have homes. People should have freedom of thought, freedom to make their own choices. People shouldn’t be slaves to systems.
My heart goes out to the girl with cancer and her dad.
Does anyone know what they are doing now? I hope life has got better for them all.
What a shame,there's enough food on the planet for everyone😢 I don't want to think about how much the supermarkets throw away!
Powerty is growing rapidly in Europe 😢
These children have such wisdom! ❤ Some of the parents need to grow up!
Am i the only one who thinks mom might drink?
My husband still deals with the effects of growing up being food insecure. He won't throw away expired food or food he knows won't be eaten. He tends to spoil our kids with snacks and junk food. Something he never got as a child.
The world is going crazy, to get food or accomodation is getting so difficult. So much greedy people, and no values.
This is about 10 years old yet it's put out as new. I've watched it twice through the years.
My eyes and heart are crying for these families. ❤😢
You no whats really sad about this video is, that these poor babies even no what the word poverty means...how is this world fair when a poor little one has to go to school on an empty tummy thats very cruel..our governments should be ashamed of themselves. 😢😢😢
Rosie is adorable. So sad she was in that situation.
Disgusting these predatory loans. Good on nan being so disciplined and teaching essential life skills and values. Everyone can go through periods where you need help and there's no shame in accepting that. It's when people feel entitled to it and therefore assume it should go on forever, it becomes problematic. Also please people, that you can pay an installment does NOT mean you can afford the item. If you can't afford to pay for the TV in cash, you can't afford it. This is true for everything that loses value over time or with usage.
Don’t get loans it just traps you I don’t make massive feeds on holidays we just have a normal meal maybe a cake or dessert but not over the top like some pple just have a pot luck if your visiting family
This isn’t new, it’s a copy of a video on YouTube already. I’ve seen it already. I couldn’t imagine going hungry when I was young. If I didn’t eat sometimes I’d get low energy n feel lethargic n I’d need to chug milk. When I was younger my mom didn’t have a lot of money even to this day, but we always had something to eat. Thank god
Good on the mum working online yo feed her kids work hard at school kids
