A long-delayed $250 million NYC civil suit finally goes to trial this year â 

putting the reputations of some of the cityâs most powerful on the line. 

After 22 years the then teens, Kharey Wise, Kevin Richardson, 

Antron McCray, Yusef Salaam and Raymond Santana, are no longer 

convicted felons or registered sex offenders, but theyâre still best known 

as the Central Park 5. Each served from 7 to 13 years in prison for a rape

they didnât commit, after Mayor Koch, the police, prosecutors and the 

media, along with mogul Donald Trump, who actively advocated for the 

death penalty for the youth, whipped the city into a racist lynch mob. Now, 

22 years and counting, after five convictions, and then one shocking 

confession that upended the lives of all involved the Central Park jogger 

case is about to break open again â pitting the cityâs most powerful 

crime fighters against each other and the teens they wrongly jailed for 

the attack, who still await justice. 

Will Home Grown Be The Way of the Future?

MediaMaker 2012: Kristi Adams

During WWI and WWII Americans grew food in backyards, on balconies, in parks, wherever they could. At their peak, these gardeners yielded 40% of the produce consumed in the US. The government encouraged localized food production to conserve scarce fuel and labor. Today, citizens across the country are reviving the spirit of these gardens, but this time they face many obstacles and little support. From the Ground Up is an upbeat documentary project about gardeners in three municipalities: San Francisco, Sacramento, and Holyoke, comparing and contrasting these modern urban farmers with the Victory Gardeners. This project consists of a feature length documentary and opportunities to participate in fun, engaging, practical activities, as well as a series of live events… As we see these people engage in their local food system, we ask: Can urban farms nourish and rejuvenate our communities? Plant a seed, nurture it, grow something amazing.
