Based on the best-selling books by Suzanne Collins, The Hunger Games is the first film in the franchise. Every year in the ruins of what was once North America, the Capitol of the nation of Panem forces each of its twelve districts to send a teenage boy and girl to compete in the Hunger Games. Sixteen-year-old Katniss Everdeen volunteers in her younger sister’s place and must rely upon her sharp instincts when she’s pitted against highly trained Tributes who have prepared their entire lives. If she’s ever to return home to District 12, Katniss must make impossible choices in the arena that weigh survival against humanity and life against love.

Includes “The World is Watching: Making of The Hunger Games” – an eight-part documentary covering the “Making Of” the film in all aspects including casting, location, effects and post production.
