Description
Hungry for Change by James Colquhoun and Laurentine ten Bosch turns its attention to the cycle of processed food, sugar cravings, dieting, and weight regain that keeps many people stuck without lasting change. Framed as a challenge to both the food industry and the culture of quick fixes, it moves through appetite, marketing, habit, and nutrient quality with a strongly reformist tone. The documentary is less interested in calorie counting than in why modern eating patterns leave so many people overfed, undernourished, and frustrated.

About the Director / Filmmaker
James Colquhoun and Carlo Ledesma, co-directors, make an unusual pairing. Colquhoun is a filmmaker and founder of Food Matters and FMTV, building a health-media ecosystem around documentaries, articles, and guided programs, while Ledesma is a Filipino filmmaker and co-writer whose credits span Saving Sally, The Tunnel, Sunod, and Outside. Used together, their names signal a team-led project shaped by different traditions rather than one dominant signature.

Approach
Cast as an anti-diet rebuttal, the documentary strings together wellness experts, personal testimony, and food-industry critique to reframe overeating. Its stance is openly advocacy-led, treating processed food as a designed dependency rather than a neutral dietary variable.
