>
> This award-winning documentary chronicles the complex and emotional  
> story of the destruction of Los Angeles' South Central Farm. Created  
> from the ashes of the L.A. riots in 1992, the South Central Farm was  
> the largest urban farm in the United States until its destruction in  
> 2006. "The Garden" follows the farmers as they organize and launch  
> an impassioned public battle to save the farm. The film documents  
> the farmers' struggle against the city's backroom deals, and exposes  
> the underlying issues of money, power, poverty and racial discord.  
> The film explores the fault lines in American society, raising  
> crucial and challenging questions about liberty, equality, and  
> justice for the poorest and most vulnerable among us.
