Dive! Living Off America’s Waste

Every year in America we throw away 96 billion pounds of food.

That’s 263 million pounds a day.

11 million pounds an hour.

3,000 pounds a second.

The multi award-winning documentary Dive! will be screening in the 2010 LA United Film Festival. Inspired by a curiosity about our country’s careless habit of sending food straight to landfills, 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 eye-opening documentary that is equal parts entertainment, guerilla journalism and call to action.

Dive! has garnered critical praise while raising important questions about hunger and waste in our society. This is Seifert’s first film and has been warmly received by audiences across the country, winning eleven festivals thus far, including the Boulder International, Sedona International, DC Independent, and Oxford Film Festivals.
