Fast Food Nation [2006]
Wednesday, April 14, 6:30 p.m. – Shirlington Branch Library

A Community of Gardeners [2010]
Saturday, April 17, 2 p.m. – Central Library Auditorium
A work-in-progress screening of  “A Community of Gardeners,” produced by local filmmaker Cintia Cabib. The documentary explores the vital role of seven community gardens in Washington, D.C., not only as sources of fresh, nutritious food, but as outdoor classrooms, places of healing, centers of social interaction, and oases of beauty and calm in inner-city neighborhoods. The screening will be followed by a Q-and-A with Cabib.
