DESCRIPTION:
BEST DOCUMENTARY, AFI SILVERDOCS FILM FESTIVAL

BEST DOCUMENTARY, CAMDEN INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL



\"We award this film for its tenacity in storytelling in the face of

injustice, and the filmmaker\'s singular vision in bringing a gripping,

dramatic, and important story to the public eye. THE GARDEN has raw emotion,

visceral energy, and nail-biting twists and turns. It unravels a complex and

layered tale of the destruction of America\'s largest urban farm that must not be forgotten.\"

The Silverdocs Sterling US Feature Jury

Winner, Best Documentary



\"An excellent documentary…its lessons about the levers of power and politics,

about rebels becoming the establishment and how easy it is to get co-opted,

are relevant everywhere. A potent human drama, THE GARDEN is a case study in how

hardball politics is played and why it is so difficult to take on the system.\"

THE GARDEN

This award-winning documentary chronicles the complex and emotional story of the destruction of Los Angeles\' South Central Farm. Created from the ashes of the L.A. riots in 1992, the South Central Farm was the largest urban farm in the United States until its destruction in 2006. \"The Garden\" follows the farmers as they organize and launch an impassioned public battle to save the farm. The film documents the farmers\' struggle against the city\'s backroom deals, and exposes the underlying issues of money, power, poverty and racial discord. The film explores the fault lines in American society, raising crucial and challenging questions about liberty, equality, and justice for the poorest and most vulnerable among us.
