The film follows director Jeremy Seifert and his friends as they dumpster dive behind several grocery stores in the Los Angeles
area to demonstrate the massive amount of food that is wasted each year
in America. After showing that much of the food found in dumpsters is
perfectly edible, Seifert confronts the managers of the stores to
question why they don't donate more of it to local food banks, especially in light of the 1996 Federal Bill
Emerson Good Samaritan Food Donation Act, which protects them from liability for such donations. The legality and ethics of dumpster diving are discussed when the stores begin locking up their dumpsters. Finally, Seifert considers the waste created by individual consumers when they throw out food that is only partly bad or just past its expiration date.
Dive! premiered in October 2009 at the Gig Harbor Film Festival,
where it won the Audience Choice Award. It has gone on to win awards at
many other film festivals, including Best Documentary at the DC Independent Film Festival and Best Film at the Dutch Environmental Film Festival.
