ABOUT THE FILM

Two young chefs take a fresh and surprising look at a sustainable source of nutritious and delicious food for a growing world population: bugs. They look at them in Australia, in Mexico, Peru, Japan, Kenya, Uganda, Italy, and in other countries around the world and find that bugs can be surprisingly rich delicacies, greatly varied in flavour. The film offers no answer to the problem of large corporations industrializing food production and defeating biodiversity, but the glimpse into the future of food on an international trip comes with much exuberance and highly informative fun, at times almost orgasmic.
