"The Garden"

We watched another documentary tonight called "The Garden"  It was actually nominated for an Academy Award and it is an amazing story...
Visit www.thegardenmovie.com to watch the trailer and see a little bit about the movie.  I would really really encourage you to watch this documentary if at all possible...more than just the trailer.  You might be able to see part on youtube but it is definitely worth renting if possible or even buying..i am planning on purchasing this at some point too!!
This Garden is literally blocks away from where i live this summer and really tells the story of the area i am living and the sad reality that the people in South LA have no voice....what would seem to be clearly the right thing done for the people is not done and this poor community is again left helpless even when they do all they can to band together for justice.
I was again broken tonight as i watched the struggle of these latino people...another sad reminder of our fallen world.

  1. I watched the movie trailer for "The Garden". What is best for the people isn't always what happens. It seems pretty obvious that the garden is a good thing and has provided a need both spiritually and physically for the people - but progress, so to speak, gets in the way of the needs. I'd like to see the whole movie for a better understanding of the situation. Your blogs continue to be an education for me.
