A free screening of the award-winning documentary film Growing Cities will take place at Hell’s Kitchen Farm Project—a rooftop farm located on the roof of the Metro Baptist Church, 410 West 40th Street, Manhattan—on July 17 at 6 p.m.

Growing Cities, which was released in the fall of 2013 at film festivals and began community screening this spring, examines the role of urban farming in America and asks how much power it has to revitalize our cities and change the way we eat.

In their search for answers, filmmakers Dan Susman and Andrew Monbouquette take a road trip and meet the men and women that are challenging the way this country grows and distributes its food, one vacant city lot, rooftop garden, and backyard chicken coop at a time.

Join them as they discover that good food isn’t the only crop these urban visionaries are harvesting. They’re producing stronger and more vibrant communities, too.
