The Interceptors

 

The Interceptors follows the story of a new community-driven, technology-enabled network with the goal of reducing food waste and nourishing the Vancouver community. The film follows first-generation Filipino-Canadian Chef TJ Conwi as he turns a mountain of surplus food collected by Vancouver Food Runners into delicious meals that are distributed to the food insecure.
