Coming Next Week at Worldbridger: February 6 – for International Development Week: VIU Nanaimo, bldg 356 rm 109 GROW YOUR OWN (101 min / 2007 / Directed by Richard Laxton / UK / In English / Unrated) If you liked The Full Monty or The Calendar Girls, you’ll like this film. Occasionally melancholy, often funny, this gentle, touching comedy offers a witty critique of British small-mindedness, working class territorialism and racial bigotry. Loosely based on a real-life allotment project in Liverpool, the story tracks a year in the lives of the plot-holders whose quiet world is ruffled when immigrant refugee families are given parcels of land to cultivate as a source of both sustenance and therapy.
