The Garden. From the ashes of the L.A. riots, the South Central Farmers have nurtured the nation’s largest urban farm. Since 1992, they have created a miracle in one of the country’s most blighted neighborhoods. Growing their own food. Feeding their families. Creating community. But now, bulldozers are poised to level their 14-acre oasis.
The Garden is the unflinching look at the struggle between urban farmers and the City of Los Angeles and a powerful developer who wants to evict them and build warehouses.
Mostly immigrants from Latin American countries where they feared for their lives if they were to speak out, we watch them organize, fight back, and demand, “Where
is our ‘Justice for all’?”
If everyone told you nothing more could be done, would you give up?
