Synopsis

Few things bring us together as happily as food - but meals among families can have their complications. That's the message of this heartwarming tale about the meals that we use to celebrate family life. The story follows four different (but in many ways similar) families as they each prepare for the traditional American festival of Thanksgiving - one that, like a British Christmas, usually involves a huge turkey dinner. But each of the four families in What's Cooking - one African-American, one Jewish, one Vietnamese and one Mexican - has a certain way of getting their meal to the table, and a certain set of problems. Can what eventually ends up on their plates bring them together?

What our educators say

"It really is a chance for us to open children's minds to the power of film not just as a vehicle for entertainment but also as a way in to understanding their own world and the worlds of people whose lives are very different."

- Marlon Perkins, Teacher, Whitstable and Seasalter Endowed CofE Junior School, Kent
