Commissioned by the National Restaurant Association, this documentary examines what COVID did to America's food system and what the industry is still living with today. It spans the full chain: the farmers, suppliers, restaurant owners, and workers navigating a landscape permanently altered by the pandemic. The work touches on food policy, supply chain, and the economic realities facing independent operators across the country.
The restaurants that survived did so on shrinking margins, skeleton crews, and sheer will. Prices climbed. Foot traffic shifted. The structural vulnerabilities that were always there became impossible to ignore. This film doesn't look away from any of it.
Documentary work like this exists to hold something true before it gets rewritten. If you have a story that deserves that kind of attention, let's talk.
