The Kings of Flint

Detailed Technology Description

Description This documentary film follows Karate Masters Jacky and Dora King (who are also Master Gardeners,) as they teach students to grow their own food in urban gardens around Flint, Michigan. They see farming as a means of self-defense. When you grow your own food, the Kings say, you know what’s going into your body. The Kings also see farming as a way to revitalize Flint. At their Harvesting Earth Educational Farm, and each weekend at the local Farmer’s Market, they sell the fruits, vegetables and eggs they harvest. The Kings grow food; they also grow hope. Follow the Kings of Flint (Facebook) as they try to make Flint a better place... even just in their little corner of it. Purchase this film in DVD format from Michigan State University.
