The Garden
Playing May 8 - 14
Cinema Village 22 E 12th St
Written, Directed and Produced by Scott Hamilton Kennedy
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. The Garden was a selected project of Independent Film Week's Spotlight on Documentaries 2005 and was an Academy Award nominee for Best Documentary Feature. An Oscilloscope Pictures release.
