Cinema Politica Film Screening
March 13, 7:00 pm - 9:30 pm
Eckhardt-Grammaté

Dive! follows filmmaker Jeremy Seifert and friends as they “dumpster dive” in the back alleys and garbage receptacles of Los Angeles' supermarkets. They salvage thousands of dollars worth of good, edible food.  A documentary that is equal parts entertainment, guerilla journalism and call to action.
