5.0 out of 5 stars political film at its best!, June 12, 2009
This review is from: The Garden (DVD)
this doc shows the full spectrum of a nasty fight between crooked city council members, unprincipled community leaders, and hard working immigrant workers making great use of public land.

so damn deserving the academy award nomination it received.

i can't recommend it enough. it's the real life The Wire.

4.0 out of 5 stars loved this doc, July 9, 2009
By Nick "nick" (Brooklyn) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Garden (DVD)
I saw this movie at Cinema Village in NY and was so impressed by its raw, fly-on-the-wall approach. Being a New Yorker I knew nothing of the plight of these farmers in South Central LA and their attempts to take on greedy developers and city hall to save their community garden, but this story has universal appeal. An enthralling and necessary doc.
