Director Michele Mellara
Countries Italy
Duration 72 min
Synopsis
God save the green tells the stories of people who are regaining a sense of community through gardening and at the same time they are changing the places they live in. The narration flows into six innovative routes: the last garden in one of the most crowded peripheries of Casablanca; hydroponic cultivation in Teresina, Brazil; community gardens in Berlin; growing vegetables inside bags in one of Nairobi's slums; hanging gardens in Turin and Bologna; Guerrilla gardening in Berlin. It'is a film about the creation of a new possible urban landscape where green space is something that is lived-in, creative.
