- Documentary NOTHING WASTED
  
  For 60 days, a documentary team from Loyola Marymount University went behind the scenes at Saint Mark Food Pantry in Venice, CA and what they found was inspiring. Amid the hustle of daily operations, they uncovered a story of hope, community, and resilience, proving that sustainability isn’t just about the environment—it’s about people.
