Summary: 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. (imdb.com)
No masterpiece, but a solid film chronicling the fight of a few poor farmers to keep their farms on the country's largest urban farm. I would have especially appreciated a bit more insight into how the farmers received the land in the first place, and who gets to farm there. However, the obvious failings of local LA government and the greed of the land's previous and eventual owner are more than enough for a compelling drama.
Well-done, sometimes difficult to watch documentary about the South Central Urban Garden in LA and the attempts to run it off the property. Touches on rights of the poor, city corruption, squatters' rights, and the basic inhumanity of capitalism.
Horowitz isn't bad because he's a Jew, he's bad because he's a colossal asshole with a profound sense of capitalist entitlement. He's not Shylock, he's just a jerk who wants a bunch of people he thinks are illegals to grovel at his feet. Kinda felt bad that about being glad Juanita had a stroke. I mean, she needed to remove herself from the political sphere, but she didn't have to die. I'd have much rather seen her ass in prison.
Jews killed Jesus, now 2000-something years later a jew wants to take away garden from poor Mexicans who grow papayas:( But seriously, at first this documentary felt so insignificant, but as it progressed I really enjoyed watching it. Good job by director.
