32 million live with life-threatening food allergies

It's Time We Understood What That Means

Urgent. Empathetic. Unforgettable.

The May Contain Films offers powerful documentary films that share the unfiltered stories of kids and families living with food allergies—a journey that’s as invisible as it is life-changing. Through empathy-driven storytelling, these narratives illuminate the everyday fears faced by those affected and show how they reclaim their power. These stories not only humanize a public health crisis but also ignite empathy in every audience, showcasing the impact of food allergies in a profound way.

1-The Essential Ingredient

May Contain: My Life is a powerful feature-length docudrama that serves as one of the compelling documentary films highlighting the life-or-death stakes of living with food allergies—and the urgent need to normalize discussions around them. Through empathy-driven storytelling, these real stories provide a blueprint for embracing empathy, changing behavior, and building a safer world. This Food Allergy Film aims to raise awareness and inspire change through the narratives shared in May Contain Films.

3-The Urgency Ingredient

May Contain: Danger dramatizes the invisible pressure to 'just go along' in social situations, making it a compelling entry in the realm of documentary films. Starring Disney actors August Maturo and Ava Kolker, who also serve as executive producers, this Food Allergy Film centers on a tense teen birthday party where social pressure and misunderstanding culminate in a dangerous turning point. The film is inspired by August Maturo's real-life experiences living with food allergies, showcasing empathy-driven storytelling that resonates with viewers.
