The Garden
A Film by Scott Hamilton Kennedy
Academy Award Nominee Best
Documentary Feature
"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."
Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times
"Imagine if
John Steinbeck rewrote the script for
'Chinatown'."
Peter Hartlaub, San Francisco Chronicle
"The
Garden" has all the elements of a John Sayles
drama: hard-working immigrants, self-serving
politicians, a greedy land developer and Daryl
Hannah. Yet this intricate and compelling
documentary about the tug of war over a 14-acre
community garden in South Central Los Angeles
paints a portrait of American politics not even
Mr. Sayles could render more saddening.
Jeannette Catsoulis, The New York Times
