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?

The Garden: this is what we need more of in our communities, not more corporate bullshitters who've sold their souls to satan for $ and £ - we've already got more than enough of those!
Oh man, i didn't know they made a documentary about this. I actually remembered going there months before been evicted, my mom bought some corn leafs to make tamales. It was about 5 years ago or so, its on Alameda st. close by the El Faro Swap Meet/Alameda Swap Meet. It sucks b/c everytime when going to L.A we would pass by here and see the people tending their little piece of land. I don't live exactly in LA, but its was great to see this within an urban city.
(continued) Also, if it's un-American to want safe, healthy, affordable food for all, then I'm proud to say I'm un-American. However, I disagree. Even after all the mistakes we've made, we can certainly turn things around. We can become a better America, one that takes care of its people, whether they speak fluent English or not. (Plus, it might do us some good to learn another language. We're not alone on this planet.) We can and must change the way America "works."
If they began farming illegally, then of course something was going to hit the fan sooner or later. However, saying they need to "quit criticizing America and learn to live with it" is BS, since there are community gardens sprouting up all over the country, especially in the inner cities, where they're needed most. The biggest problem this country faces is what its first world values have done to the land and its people.
Amen, if these people are happy with gardening and not speaking English, they could have stayed in South America. They need to quit critisizing America and learn to live with it. They keep bucking it and their community is in shambles because of it. A third world mentality doesn't translate into success in a first world country. It's simple math.
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.
