The garden [videorecording] / Oscilloscope Laboratories ; Black Valley Films in association with Katahdin Productions and Impact Partners ; produced & directed by Scott Hamilton Kennedy ; co-producers, Dominique Derrenger, Vivianne Nacif.
The fourteen-acre community garden at 41st and Alameda in South Central Los Angeles is the largest of its kind in the United States. Started as a form of healing after the devastating L.A. riots in 1992, the South Central Farmers have since created a miracle in one of the country's most blighted neighborhoods. Growing their own food. Feeding their families. Creating a community. But now, bulldozers are poised to level their 14-acre oasis.
