HERB and DOROTHY
You will be enchanted by Herb & Dorothy Vogel. And even more enchanting is the art collection they have amassed since their first purchase in the early 1960's.

HOMEGROWN
These inspiring films portray young people working for a greener tomorrow. THE ROAD AHEAD tells about the Green Long March project in China, where hundreds of enthusiastic university students fanned out across the disparate geographic regions of China to spread the good word of environmental awareness. HOMEGROWN features an ultimate green family on the other side of the world, the Dervaeses of Pasadena, California. This enterprising father and his three adult children have built a working farm on their city plot of land, and they are almost completely self-sustaining. They harvest 6,000 pounds of fruit and vegetables yearly, both for their own consumption and to sell to local restaurants.
This film is preceded by the screening of The Road Ahead: The First Green Long March.
