Another famine novel is Make Room Make Room aka Soylent Green

I thought about using "Soylent Green" as the film for the "famine" unit but ultimately found it just too silly. And if I find it too silly, the students are going to find it even sillier...

(In the end, I didn't use a specific film for famine — the three films I used were The Fog of War, Contagion, and Children of Men.)
