The film is a moving portrait of the urban farmers, mostly Latin American immigrants, who not only created an unbelievably lush oasis in the middle of an industrial corridor but also joined together to organize and advocate their right to keep it. The Garden is a poignant look at the promises of urban agriculture and the failures of imagination and support from our legislative and legal systems.
The Garden was nominated for Best Documentary Feature at the 2009 Academy Awards. To find or host a screening, visit TheGardenMovie.com. You can also rent the movie at your video store.
