[FONT=&quot]‘Dive!’[/FONT]
​
[FONT=&quot]‘Dive!’ follows Jeremy Seifert and friends as they dumpster dive in the back alley's and gated garbage receptacles of Los Angeles' supermarkets. In the process, they salvage thousands of dollars worth of good food and uncover a disturbing truth about waste in America. The goal quickly becomes to find out why so much edible food is thrown away instead of being delivered to those who need it. The result is equal parts entertainment, guerrilla journalism and call to action.
