FOOD SYNERGY is a multimedia feature documentary being developed in Vancouver BC Canada. It is the first documentary addressing all seven stages of the entire food supply chain. With multimedia styles ranging from song and dance to animation and interviews, it will feature 7 positive stories of local heroes empowering audience members to love food and fight waste from farm to fork.
