"The Garden" is a brilliant and moving account of the battle for the rights to access land and a way of life in central LA. Telling the story of the largelyHispanic community who farmed 14 acres of once derelict ground when they challenge the interests of greedy developers and various corrupt politicians and community leaders. The film raises crucial questions about liberty, justice, racism, class war and land rights in the US and across the globe.

From the ashes of the L.A. riots arose a lush, 14-acre community garden, the largest of its kind in the United States. Now bulldozers threaten its future.
Featuring: Danny Glover, Daryl Hannah, Antonio Villaraigosa
Writer-director Scott Hamilton Kennedy’s The Garden tells the saga of the South Central Farm – an urban farm that was located at the intersection of 41st Street and Alameda Avenue in South Central Los Angeles. In the aftermath of the 1992 L.A. riots, the city government granted a revocable permit to the L.A. Regional Food Bank (a private, nonprofit food-distribution network) who converted the bleak landscape of rubble, litter and debris into a lush 14-acre farm (the largest urban farm in the U.S.).
Simply dubbed the South Central Farm, the garden began to produce fresh fruits and vegetables and the local farmers were able to enjoy their own home-grown crops rather than rely on food stamps for subsistence. For over a decade the South Central Farm thrived, but in January 2004 the farmers received an eviction notice. The revocable permit was being revoked
