...AND THIS IS MY GARDEN
...by Katharina Stieffenhofer (Digital, Colour, Documentary, 58 minutes, 2010)
...And This is My Garden is an inspirational documentary film about the power of education to foster healthier lifestyles and to reconnect youth to the earth.
Set in the small town of Wabowden, Northern Manitoba, the students are empowered with the knowledge, discipline and skill to grow their own food sustainably in backyard gardens.
The film follows the teacher, Eleanor Woitowicz and her students for a season of planting, harvesting, preserving, through to the annual Mel Johnson School harvest display and community feast.
Along the way, the students develop a sense of responsibility, pride and accomplishment and address issues of Community Food Security, Chronic Disease Prevention and Environmental Improvement.
The program has been recognized by the United Nations, the David Suzuki Foundation and Manitoba Conservation.
...And This Is My Garden screened at the EcoFocus Film Festival in Athens, Georgia and was awarded the Most Inspirational Film Award at the EcoFocus Film Festival in Athens, GA in September 2010.
