First We Eat is a Canadian documentary film, directed by Suzanne Crocker and released in 2020.[1] The film documents the attempts of Crocker and her family, after a landslide temporarily blocked highway access to their hometown of Dawson City, Yukon, to spend a full year exclusively consuming food that had been hunted, fished, gathered, grown or raised locally, while carefully considering the environmental and social impacts of modern commercial transport of food.[2] The documentary film premiered on May 28, 2020 on Hot Docs.
