“Homegrown” is 52 minutes of inspiration.
To watch it is to desire to do more with what you have, to strive not to take anything for granted, and dog-gone it — to go out and garden.
It’s a film about a family. A family that is close and caring and devoted to each others’ well being. It’s about the Dervaes Family. They have created a small, organic farm in Pasadena, Calif. It’s not in the outskirts of the city, either. It’s in the heart. They live off the grid, use bio diesel for their car, and are able to harvest 6,000 pounds of produce on a piece of land maybe just a bit more than 1/5 of an acre.
What may be the best thing about “Homegrown” is that it will make you feel warm and fuzzy. This is how feel-good movies should be. Thank goodness we get to experience it in such a nicely thought out documentary.
