Grocery stores around the country are filling their dumpsters with food. Not rotten, spoiled food, but billions of pounds of good, edible food. Why? Because the expiration date is nearing? Because it costs less to toss it rather than donate it? Whatever the answer, the contradiction is profound: good food is being thrown away and people are going hungry. Follow filmmaker Jeremy Seifert and his circle of friends as they "dumpster dive" in the back alleys and gated garbage receptacles of L.A.'s supermarkets. In the process they uncover thousands of dollars of food and an ugly truth about waste in America.
