A look at a grass roots effort to green up Los Angeles one garden plot at a time.

n April, USC Neuroscience student Kelly McColl and graduating Cinematic Arts senior Jackson Stakeman set out to document Green Grounds. The resulting video powerfully discusses efforts to combat food deserts in South Los Angeles through efforts by local residents, Master Gardeners, and institutions.

At the same time the video provides a fantastic snapshot of Green Ground’s activities, its history, and the community of people involved in monthly Dig-Ins.

Thank you Kelly and Jackson!
