Summary
The Urban Homestead is a short film showcasing the journey of a family in Pasadena towards self-sufficiency by turning their city lot into an urban homestead. The family grows their own food, raises chickens, produces biodiesel, and uses solar energy. The father’s transformation began during the hippie era and his defining moment came during the Vietnam War, which led him to question the purpose of life. He then began homesteading and eventually settled in Southern California, where he turned his lawn into a garden and began his journey towards self-sufficiency.

Here we are in mid-2019. Now they're geoengineering the weather and using it as a weapon against the people. In addition, zoning laws now prevent us from growing food on our own property and in many places it is now illegal to collect rain water.
The only food available are almost all GMO's AND are contaminated with glyphosate, atrazine, fluoride, (yes, it's in food as well as water and drinks) and a slew of other poisons.
I saw this video when it first came out. And every few years I rewatch to stay focused on gardening
