Truck Farm (2011) dir. Ian Cheney
Truck Farm is a whimsical, musicallynarrated, documentary film about urban agriculture. Filmmaker Ian Cheney (KING CORN, THE GREENING OF SOUTHIE, THE CITY DARK) planted a 1, 1000thacre farm in the back of his 1986 Dodge pickuptruck in the spring of 2009, after coming to New York City and lacking any other place of his own to grow food. Using greenroof materials, heirloom seeds, and a healthy dose of optimism and humor, Ian created a mobile community farm that yielded a wide range of vegetables and led to the discovery and exploration of other creative, quirky, communitybased agriculture efforts all over the city.
