It's high time someone pulled back the veil on the underground sport of competitive grocery bagging. READY, SET, BAG! does just that as it chronicles the lives of eight grocery baggers who are competing for the honor of being named the "Best Bagger" at the annual National Grocers Association convention in Las Vegas.

You may scoff at the thought of a "National Bagging Competition," but the subjects of this documentary are deadly serious about their craft. The film follows these diverse characters as they prepare for the competition and offers a rare glimpse into the lives of the commonly misunderstood grocery bagger.

A portion of ticket proceeds from this will benefit the Capitol Area Food Bank and the screening will include a pre-show exhibition sack-off/grudge match between Whole Foods North vs. Downtown.
