We Feed People - Uno chef in prima linea

Ron Howard's fast-moving documentary about chef Jose Andres' journey from ebullient celebrity chef to global humanitarian is a genuinely inspiring film. Andres' empathetic work with the World Central Kitchen is familiar from brief snippets on the news, but the amount of life-threatening risk and sacrifice would put anyone else's efforts (or lack thereof) to shame. Howard masterfully jumps from one emergency location to the next by exposing the hard reality of Andres' actions often based on decisions that need to be made on the spot and on the chef's unbending spirit in keeping everyone motivated. Howard smartly portrays Andres not as an angelic saint but as the hard-driving leader he needs to be during a crisis.
