Post: The film tells the story of a girl who lives in a country called PANEM where there are 12 districts. And every year two young, one man and one woman, from each district are chosen to fight to the death in the Hunger Games. This girl finds herself in these games after her younger sister is drawn and she offers herself as a tribute to her sister.

The film is very good and has managed to be faithful to the book. The special effects, soundtrack and film set are excellent, and the actors, especially Jeniffer Lawrence, performed very well.
