Rooted

In this food justice documentary, activist and urban farmer Germaine Jenkins is taking on the power structure in Charleston, SC, to counter the tide of toxic food that has ravaged her community for decades. Will this oasis in a food desert survive and advance civil rights' latest frontier, or become another mirage in the battle against food apartheid?

Directed by Bridget Besaw, Par Parekh
