It’s a revolutionary Rich City! Come hear the full story of the Richmond Greenway! The feature “Greenway” by documentary filmmaker Jed Lee weaves together the enriching tale of how a once abandoned and dangerous railroad line is now a beautiful stretch of walking path decorated on each side with gardens, murals, and parks. Hear from current Richmond community leaders about how this transformation was 100% fought for and by the community.
This event is free, open to all and no rsvp is necessary. Immediately proceeding the film screening at 5:30pm will be a gallery walkthrough with artist Tanja Geis of her new solo exhibition. Come early and enjoy both these events from The Greenhouse exhibition and speaker series.
About the filmmaker: Jed Lee is a Taiwanese and Chinese-Filipino American activist, artist, and filmmaker from the Bay Area in California. Jed is a first time filmmaker and directed and produced the “Greenway” feature documentary, which recently won “Best Documentary” at the Our Heritage, Our Planet Film Festival, and “Best Film for Environmental Activism” at the International Social Change Film Festival.
