CHICAGO-AREA PREMIERE. FILM DESCRIPTION: Over two billion people in 80 percent of the world’s countries eat insects for protein.

The Gateway Bug also brings to the table a discussion of world hunger, our diminishing food supply and the environmental benefits of eating insects. Middle schoolers, teens and young adults are encouraged to attend.
