The films:
1. Detroit: Rising from the Ashes (33mins.)
Capitalism abandoned Detroit years ago, leaving it derelict and overgrown. Now, communities are being rebuilt through growing their own food in 1,300 urban gardens.
2. Detroit: Art Explosion (18 mins.)
Alongside the food growing is the start of an incredible explosion of art – much of it political.
3. Movement for Justice in El Barrio
Fighting gentrification (17 mins)
Inspired by the the Zapatistas and adherents to the Other Campaign, MJB are successfully resisting gentrification in New York.
