May Food on Film: THE GARDEN
Join Lancaster BFBL, the Local Economy Center, and the Wohlsen Center for a Sustainable Environment (F&M College) this season for a series of thought-provoking movies and discussion looking at the ways we grow, process, and buy our food.
THE GARDEN
Thursday, May 6
7pm
Stahr Auditorium in Stager Hall at Franklin & Marshall College
The 14-acre community garden at 41st and Alameda in South Central Los Angeles was the largest of its kind in the United States. Started after the devastating L.A. riots in 1992, the South Central Farmers created a miracle in one of the country’s most blighted neighborhoods, growing their own food, feeding their families, and creating a community.
But what happens when urban farmers meets hardball politics? Follow their gripping story in this award-winning documentary by Scott Hamilton Smith, filmed as the drama unfolded.
The movie will be followed by a discussion led by Jeffrey Montez de Oca (Prof. of Sociology F&M College)
Free and open to the public (donations are welcome!)
