Hello Backstory Fans! Welcome to a delightful dive into the making of the inspiring documentary, 'Food for Thought.' Join me as we chat with filmmakers Giles Alderson and Dan Richardson, two longtime friends who took a leap of faith and dove deep into creating a film that challenges the way we think about food and animal welfare.

This episode is packed with insights on how a simple conversation turned into a compelling documentary. We explore the origins of the project's catchy title, the challenges faced during the filmmaking journey, and the surprising personal transformations the project sparked in its creators. Whether you're curious about plant-based living, documentary filmmaking, or just love a good backstory, there's something here for everyone.

So, sit back, relax, and get ready for some food for thought as we uncover the passion behind the project and hear how Giles and Dan hope to inspire a kinder, more conscious world, one viewer at a time.
