About the Production:
“I grew up planting vegetables in the backyard with my parents. After working on an urban farm in Portland, OR I realized that not all kids have that same opportunity and that I wanted to change that. Since 80% of our country lives in cities, I figured there wasn’t a better place to start than showcasing urban agriculture.
“I told Andrew (co-producer) about my plan to visit urban farms and he said, “we have to make a movie about this.” GROWING CITIES is our effort to show that anyone, anywhere can grow food, regardless of the space you have available.” — Dan Susman
Current Status:
Post-production.
