So...just in time for the upcoming weekend, I have a movie recommendation for all you gardeners out there...
Get inspired and feel the strife of gardeners trying to hold onto their family traditions!
The Garden (2008) is a documentary about the demolition of the South Central urban farm and community garden in an industrial area of Los Angeles, CA, and is one of the biggest urban farms in the USA. It follows the story of what this inner-city garden means to the families that work the land and how each family's garden plot is part of their livelihood and family tradition. Due to a terribly unfortunate backdoor land ownership dispute, the state evicts the farmers from this land that they have farmed for years, after which demonstrations ensue in an attempt to save the land. A few celebrities also appear on the families' behalves.
To find out if the farm gets bulldozed or if they get to keep their land, watch the film!
Here's a trailer to see what it's about:
