The Garden

Coming soon to a local-independently owned-socially responsible-sustainable-organic pop-corn serving-theatre near you... o.k. so AMC might screen it too.  

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.


Release date: April 24, 2009
