There's a good chance we'll all be eating bugs soon. Join us for the film about feeding humanity, then stay for the bug tasting. Over 2 billion people on earth eat insects for protein. Award winning festival darling, eco foodie doc The Gateway Bug explores how changing daily eating habits can feed humanity during climate catastrophe, one meal at a time. Interviewing over 50 professionals from the UN, USDA and NRDC, to celebrity chef Andrew Zimmern and Shark Tank stars Pat Crowley and Chirps Chips. Following the rise and dramatic fall of edible insect start-ups in America, this film exposes America’s disconnect with food as climate catastrophe, uncovering daily habits individuals can change to fix our broken food system. Documenting shifting American landscapes of regulation, diet and agriculture from the front lines of climate-affected communities like Flint MI and Youngstown OH; audiences are con-verted into activists, igniting social change through education and empowerment. From the birth of the first American Edible Insect Coalition in Detroit to interviews with over 50 industry leaders, top chefs and academics.
