The Urban Aboriginal Community Kitchen Garden Project

The Garden Project brings aboriginal people from Vancouver's downtown eastside to the UBC Farm, and teaches them how to farm, then to eat together, and to bring that food back home with them.

We need to see more positive programs like this.I have always believed that creating a meal and sharing it takes people to a whole different level.When I ran Before and After School Programs,we always had veggie gardens and cooked and shared our food~broke our bread together!It gave the children time and space to know each other. :)

I love the story! I only wonder at the effect of having this project on University grounds? University gains a lot out of it and stand to lose very little, while this sensitive community which has been taken advantage of before, stand to lose more. How much ownership has the university given to the aboriginals?

This is a great documentary and I love it. It's about going beyond soup kitchens and bringing hope, healing, sharing, and contentment through Indigenous food production and sovereignty.
