Garden, The (DVD)

Filmmaker Scott Hamilton Kennedy brilliantly captures, in a series of explosive and wrenching turn of events, the ways greedy developers, inept politicians and self-serving "community" leaders can run rough shod over the lives of working class families fighting to save the 14-acre urban farm that has become the very source of survival. As the battle lines are drawn between this group of low-income families struggling to protect a 14-acre urban farm against a backdrop of gray and hardened skyscrapers, their cause became an international sensation that drew the attention of numerous notable activists and politicians, including Dennis Kucinich, Joan Baez, Danny Glover, and Willie Nelson.
