This film is an engaging and powerful look at the famous political and social battle over the largest community garden in the U.S (located in south central LA). The politics of power and greed tragically intersect with working class families who rely on this communal garden for their livelihood. This film exposes the fault lines in American society and raises crucial and challenging questions about liberty, equality, and justice for the poorest and most vulnerable among us.
