Greening of the Bronx: An Urban Garden Tale

Mon, Apr 28 7:00 P.M. NH World (11.3)  

THE GREENING OF THE BRONX: AN URBAN GARDEN TALE is an hour-long film about South Bronx black and brown environmentalists fighting the racist public policies that have plagued their community. Public policy has saddled these residents with poor health outcomes; the area has become a food desert, with air and water toxicity, and a school system that serves more as a school-to-prison pipeline than to successful lives. THE GREENING OF THE BRONX: AN URBAN GARDEN TALE is a community portrait that follows three trainees and their team leaders/trainers at Sustainable South Bronx (SSBx). They are part of a larger grassroots activist community in the Bronx fighting on many fronts. These include removing the Sheridan Expressway, closing prisons, creating affordable housing, and expanding parks by "Capping" the Cross Bronx Expressway with parks to reduce the "asthma alley" corridors in the Bronx.
