Screening, followed by Q&A.
Lawns are undeniably an American symbol.
But what do they really symbolize?
Pride and prosperity? Or waste and conformity?
Gimme Green is a humorous look at the American obsession with the residential lawn and the effects it has on our environment, our wallets and our outlook on life. From the limitless subdivisions of Florida to sod farms in the arid southwest, Gimme Green peers behind the curtain of the $40-billion industry that fuels our nation’s largest irrigated crop—the lawn.
