"THE GARDEN" TRAILER

The Garden is the unflinching look at the struggle between urban farmers and the City of Los Angeles and a powerful developer who wants to evict them and build warehouses. Mostly immigrants from Latin American countries where they feared for their lives if they were to speak out, we watch them organize, fight back, and demand, "Where is our 'Justice for all'?"

If everyone told you nothing more could be done, would you give up?

it is a very good movie. it shows what people perceive what america is like, and what it's really like....all about money.

...and 2 years later...nothing has been built on the land.

Frizzo, you're a nationalist, conformist, propertarian dickhead. You're exactly the kind of phony, gladhanding twink who ruined an entire school of music. I hope you acquire an acute, extremely painful skin disease. Oh, and your music sucks.

tezzo and his farm sell their produce at local schools on weekends at cheap prices and are all naturally grown but still the loss of the farm was an impact on the community

nobody did anything wrong here except bicth ass jan perry and tate they scam the city of building soccer fields which all they do is put two nets and thats the soccer field fuck jan perry and her other scemes im from south central and its sad to see there is nothing in the land

Well...sorry, but you can't live on land that isn't yours.

legal? was it really legal? they had good legal arguements watch the movie. does not matter anyways in the end look what happened. first off the one lady dies of a stroke, the other guy involved with soccer field is being indicted on fraud. The field ended up being an empty lot, the farmers actually got an 80 acre farm outside of Los Angeles selling Organic food to the city. So in the end the rightheous won. I say the Gardeners did win in the end.

fuckin gueros and mayates we deal with abuse every day and wen they see us doin positive they just have to fuck it up

@alfamax4562 I don't feel it needed to be done. It was the city's fault for selling the land back for the same price. Even the judges before felt that the deal seemed "shady". Mr. Horowitz is just being a selfish businessman, but the city was wrong to sell the land back so that some of the people involved in the project like Jan and the other lady could make a profit.

[alfamax4562]

THIS EVICTION NEEDED TO BE DONE. As a Latino, I sympathize with the farmers. But the Law is the Law. The city of L.A. screwed a private business and misused this land. Mr. Horowitz, despite being a total asshole, had the right to repurchase this land being that it was his (part of it) to start with. We cannot allow the Law to be taken lightly. The city of L.A. is guilty of putting these poor people in an impossible situation and should buy this lot for the community... But thru legal means!!!

[alfamax4562]

I agree that this is a very interesting project. That it is very positive for the community. I agree that Horowitz did not handle the situation the right (respectful) way. BUT, at fault is THE CITY OF L.A. They are the ones who took this land from a private enterprise and gave it to another group of private citizens and CRUELY put them in a path of collision. THIS IS WHY BIG GOVERNMENT IS NOT AND WILL NEVER BE THE SOLUTION. I feel very sad to watch what has happened here.
