Description
As Grace makes his way into the heart of a revolution, he discovers that food can be a means to tackle some of our most pressing problems, from youth crime to the healthcare crisis. Grow is concerned with what we put on our plates, but its true subject is the stories we tell as we struggle to repair our severed connections to nature and our fellow citizens.
