Saving the Children: The Story of WIC. Year Developed: 2007. Source: Office of the Maryland WIC Program. Presenter(s): Office of the Maryland WIC Program. Type: Video. Level: Introductory. Length: 25 minutes.
Annotation: This movie discusses the history of WIC using accounts from champions, congressmen, legislative aides and leaders in the MCH field. It highlights events leading up to its policy creation, including the 1960’s economic opportunity initiatives and the documentary ‘Hunger in America’ showing that children were increasingly affected individuals of malnutrition and hunger. Other noted events include St. Jude Hospital‘s campaign and Dr. David Paige’s from Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health pilot study program that worked to address children’s unmet needs in nutrition. The documentary also discusses the struggles of passing WIC at the time, including getting the policy through the legislative process as well as implementing the program. Pitfalls and concerns of the program once it came into effect are also addressed; for example the debate of vouchers or breastfeeding versus formula arose with the ability to pay for formula with WIC. The documentary finalizes with what WIC looks like today and the money saved by this investment in maternal health and children.
