dropping knowledge shot ‘What Is Your Tree?’ at the South Central farm in Los Angeles on June 1, 2006. The farm, which supports 350 families who grow their own food, is the largest community-garden in the US. After the land was sold by the city of Los Angeles to a private property-developer, the South Central Farmers fought and lost a two-year court battle to save the land they have farmed for 12 years. On May 23, 2006, celebrities, activists and the local community joined the farmers in staging a ‘tree sit’ to save the farm. This is the short version of our film.
