Garden, The

An 80-minute, emotionally charged, ire-raising, inspirational, Oscar-nominated 2008 documentary that chronicles the struggle of 372 dedicated, tenacious, low-income farmers, along with politicians (such as Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, and presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich, and Deputy Mayor Larry Frank) and stars (such as Daryl Hannah, Martin Sheen, Joan Baez, Willie Nelson, and Danny Glover), who tried to save the 14-acre South Central Los Angeles community garden, the largest in the United States, before selfish real estate developer and owner Ralph Horowitz tried to evict the growers on Feb. 29, 2004.
