PLATED
short documentary in-production
Synopsis
Michelin-star Chef and multidisciplinary artist, Minh H Phan, explores the dual crises of food waste and hunger from a refugee’s perspective – and creates an art installation and culinary experience that reveals her findings. Along the way, we’ll meet the people most impacted – the farmers, distributors and recipients of this food bond – the people whose lives depend on the supply bridge connecting the food waste and abundance to the food deserts and insecurity. "Plated" is a powerful call to action, urging viewers to rethink food systems and join the movement towards generational health.
“Food waste is food abundance through a different lens. Through this residency, I hope to ignite conversations, challenge perceptions, and share humanity, ancestral knowledge and trauma, and my very own story of being a refugee and my relationship with food and systems. I can’t imagine a better home and muse than Food Forward for my new body of work.” – Minh H Phan
