Film:URBAN ROOTS

The documentary showcases the rise of the human spirit as dedicated Detroiters work tirelessly to fulfill their vision of self-reliance built on a foundation of healthy, sustainably-farmed food.  The farms have the potential to transform not just a city after its collapse, but also a country after the end of its industrial age. The film was created to encourage people of all ages and races that, just like the people in Detroit, you too can take initiative in your own communities in order to grow a healthier planet and create a sustainable economy. 

How can small farms save a city?  They can do it one neighborhood at a time, slowly and hopefully.   They bring in a new mindset, one of cooperation, barter, community, well-being, slowness but happiness perhaps.
