Not Your Typical Dumpster Diving


Are you familiar with dumpster diving? You hear about people sifting through dumpsters for valuables and unfound treasures, but what about dumpster diving for your next meal?

The award-winning film DIVE! looks further into this rising trend. This movie, part of the Southern Circuit Tour of Independent Filmmakers, seeks to explain the phenomenon of grocery stores throwing away perfectly edible food. The apparent contradiction asks the question of why good food is being thrown away when countless people are hungry.

Filmmaker Jeremy Seifert goes on a dumpster diving adventure to discover why food is being trashed versus being given away. This film is sure to involve politics, humorous moments, and a revolutionary approach to an age old problem.

Come out and learn how food waste impacts communities. You may even get motivated enough to make your own film and question common wasteful tactics. And, the filmmaker will be at the film for a Q&A session.

When? Tonight at 7 PM in Reynolds-Kirschbaum Recital Hall. Tickets are $12.
