Help bring "Can You Dig This" to Boston

We're trying to bring the award-winning documentary Can You Dig This to Boston. The film will be shown at the Loews Boston Common at 7:30 pm on Tuesday, Dec. 1 -- but only if at least 125 people reserve tickets by Friday.

What is Can You Dig This? From Delirio Films:

"South Los Angeles. What comes to mind is gangs, drugs, liquor stores, abandoned buildings and vacant lots. The last thing that you would expect to find is a beautiful garden sprouting up through the concrete, coloring the urban landscape. As part of an urban gardening movement taking root in South LA, people are planting to transform their neighborhoods and are changing their own lives in the process. Calling for people to put down their guns and pick up their shovels, these 'gangster gardeners' are creating an oasis in the middle of one of the most notoriously dangerous places in America. Can You Dig This follows the inspirational journeys of four unlikely gardeners, discovering what happens when they put their hands in the soil. This is not a story of science and economics. This is a story of the human spirit, inspiring people everywhere to pick up their shovels. From Executive Producer John Legend, Can You Dig This premiered at the 2015 LA Film Festival and won its Jury Award. The film also features a new song by John Legend and an original score by David Andrew Sitek of TV On the Radio."

If you're interested in documentary films, urban gardening as a means to improve the quality of city life, or supporting the dissemination of art and ideas about sustainability, beauty, respect, health, and humanity, this might be up your alley.

Tickets for this one-time special event are available at http://gathr.us/screening/13415. You will only be billed if we reach our goal of at least 125 viewers.
