City of Trees
During the recession, CITY OF TREES follows three trainees and the director of a stimulus-funded green job-training program designed to put unemployed people back to work by caring for parks in DC. As they navigate community tensions and a fast-approaching deadline before the grant money runs out, CITY OF TREES thrusts viewers into the inspiring but messy world of job training and the paradoxes changemakers face in urban communities everyday.
CITY OF TREES is an official selection of the 2016 Full Frame Documentary Film Festival, St. Louis International Film Festival, and DC Environmental Film Festival. CITY OF TREES originally aired on the PBS/WORLD Channel series America ReFramed in April 2016.
