Eric Notes: An excellent Oscar nominated documentary.


Synopsis:
This film is an engaging and powerful look at the famous political and social battle over the largest community garden in the U.S (located in south central LA). The politics of power and greed tragically intersect with working class families who rely on this communal garden for their livelihood. This film exposes the fault lines in American society and raises crucial and challenging questions about liberty, equality, and justice for the poorest and most vulnerable among us.

Eric Notes: Winner of two Oscars. This film was the highest rated in our pre-season evaluations and, for a while, it looked like we couldn't get it this season. So we are very pleased to present the Oscar winner for best supporting actress and best screenplay. See it on the big screen in Ouray.


Synopsis:
Set in Harlem in 1987, it is the story of Clareece “Precious” Jones, a sixteen-year-old African–American girl born into a life no one would want. She’s pregnant for the second time by her absent father. Precious may sometimes be down but she is never out. She finds her answer when she is asked to join a special school that will lead her from darkness to light.
