Screening of \\\\"The Garden\\\\" & discussion with the South Central Farmers

CineBang! Thursday 1/22, 7pm:

*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. (Winner, Best Documentary, AFI Silverdocs Film Festival.)

Join us on Thursday, January 22nd, at 7pm for a free screening of The Garden. The screening will be followed by a discussion with the South Central Farmers about their current struggle to force the international teen clothing corporation Forever 21 to abandon plans to construct a warehouse on the site of the South Central Farm, and to demand fair wages for its workers. We will also learn about the South Central Farmers\\\\' Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program.
