Film 730p OPEN HIVE / film: The Garden
Open to the public - bring friends. No charge.
This month's film: The Garden
This politically charged, Oscar-nominated documentary follows a group of low-income families struggling to protect a 14-acre urban farm in the middle of South Central Los Angeles from bureaucratic real estate developers. A lightning rod for controversy in 2004, this cause célèbre drew the attention of numerous notable activists and politicians, including Dennis Kucinich, Joan Baez, Daryl Hannah, Danny Glover and LA Mayor Antonio Villaraigoisa.
