The Neighborhood Farm Initiative will present a special 30-minute work-in-progress screening of my new documentary, “A Community of Gardeners,” on Thursday, August 27, at the Letelier Theater in Washington, D.C. “A Community of Gardeners” explores the vital role of seven urban community gardens in Washington, D.C., not only as sources of fresh, nutritious food, but as outdoor classrooms, places of healing, centers of social interaction, and oases of beauty and calm in inner-city neighborhoods.
The event will feature local light fare, drinks and live music beginning at 6:30 p.m. The screening will begin at 7:30 p.m. “A Community of Gardeners” will be preceded by the short film “Food Justice: A Growing Movement.” There will be a filmmaker Q & A after the screening.
Tickets are $15, with a small surcharge for online sales. Details and presale tickets are available online at http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/77293. Cash or check will be accepted at the door, if seats are still available. The Letelier Theater is located in Georgetown at 3251 Prospect Street, N.W., Washington, D.C.
