Here's the trailer for The Garden, which opens in theaters this Friday.

    The Garden is an engaging and powerful look at the famous political and social battle over the largest community 
garden in the US (located in South Central Los Angeles). A follow-up to Kennedy’s award-winning documentary OT: Our 
Town, the film shows how the politics of power and greed (backroom deals, land developing, green politics, money) 
tragically intersect with working class families who rely on this communal garden for their livelihood. Equal parts The 
Wire and Harlan County USA, The Garden exposes the fault lines in American society and raises crucial and challenging 
questions about liberty, equality, and justice for the poorest and most vulnerable among us. Kenneth Turan of the LA 
Times said: “It’s tempting to call The Garden a story of innocence and experience, of evil corrupting paradise, but that 
would be doing a disservice to the fascinating complexities of a classic Los Angeles conflict and an excellent 
documentary that does them full justice.”
