The 14 acre community garden in South Central Los Angeles was the
largest of it's kind in the United States. It was started as a form of
healing after the devastating L.A. riots in 1992. Since that time, the
South Central Farmers have created a miracle in one of the country's
most blighted neighborhoods. Growing their own food. Feeding their
families. Creating a community. But now bulldozers threaten their
oasis. "The Garden" is an unflinching look at the struggle between
these urban farmers and the City of Los Angeles and a powerful
developer who want to evict them and build warehouses.
