Inspired by a curiosity about our country’s careless habit of sending food straight to landfills, the multi award-winning documentary DIVE! follows filmmaker Jeremy Seifert and friends as they dumpster dive in the back alleys and gated garbage receptacles of Los Angeles’ supermarkets. In the process, they salvage thousands of dollars worth of good, edible food – resulting in an inspiring documentary that is equal parts entertainment, guerrilla journalism and call to action.

Not Rated; 55 minutes; 2010

Jeremy Seifert, Director and/or Timothy Vatterott, Composer/Producer, will join us live, via telecast for a post-film discussion.
