Green Corps: a growing story
In honor of the encore broadcast of CITY OF TREES tonight (August 21, 2018) on PBS/WORLD Channel's America ReFramed, we asked Washington Parks & People to reflect on the film and share current updates on the DC Green Corps.
Beyond the penetrating and powerful 76 minutes of Meridian Hill Pictures film City of Trees, Washington Parks & People’s central program of the DC Green Corps continues working to strengthen lives and communities eight years after its launch. Presented without narration in the cinema verité style, the film both raises important questions and, for the purpose of the narrative, leaves out much of the wider story and context of our work at Parks & People. Based on conversations we’ve heard following the film’s release and initial broadcast on public television in 2016, we wanted to share answers to a few key questions prompted by the film.
