Every year, supermarkets in the UK throw away an estimated 40million tonnes of perfectly edible food, often for perplexing reasons. FareShare is a charity that diverts some of this waste, redistributing it to organisations that work with vulnerable people.

Wasted/Wanted is an engaging and empathic documentary that hangs out with the volunteers of Bristol-based FareShare South West, many of whom have been users of the same rehab and mental health charities that they now help to feed. FareShare offers purpose, support and responsibility to people who have their own experiences of being cast aside and written off. This warm, conversational film meets those involved and lets them give their own accounts of daily efforts to save good food — and people — from our supermarket-society's culture of waste.

This fundraising event includes a screening of Wasted/Wanted, another film to be confirmed, director Q&A and canapés.
