Join us in creating a documentary film that will highlight the people and organizations that keep our food safe.
.
Tell your food safety story.
Don't miss your opportunity for change.
You have the unique opportunity to leave a lasting legacy on the global food industry. By contributing your expertise, your stories, and resources, we can create a documentary owned by the food industry and one that will be a powerful learning tool to elevate food safety globally.
Documentaries are known to focus on scary, rare occurrences of food safety failures. This tarnishes our reputation and deflates the spirits of those working to keep customers safe. Unlike documentaries like Netflix’s Poisoned, our film focuses on the people, processes, tech, and advancements so that employees feel empowered to innovate and continue protecting us all.
The Film
This 60-minute documentary will feature food safety stories in key industries along the food production continuum: agriculture, transportation, manufacturing, grocery, and food service.
The Education
After viewers are ramped up and inspired, we need to provide clear actions steps for them to effect change. This documentary will come with facilitated and self-guided resources that will help workers identify how their unique job role fits into the larger food production continuum—and what to do to ensure the greatest success between departments.

Any company that plays a role within the food supply chain: agriculture, transportation, manufacturers, labs, grocers, food service, auditors and regulators.
