*Intro by and discussion with Jonathan Wilson of Active Citizen Project
Directed by Scott Hamilton Kennedy
(2008) 80min
"Scott Hamilton Kennedy records the backroom politics and shady courtroom machinations that ensue when a thriving community garden operated by Mexican-American immigrants in LA is suddenly and inexplicably condemned to make way for warehouse development. The farmers' refusal to relinquish the land results in a David vs. Goliath battle that exposes a mess of bureaucratic corruption extending all the way to City Hall."
