Occupy the Farm

200 urban farmers break onto the last piece of farmland in the San Francisco East Bay. Calling themselves 'Occupy the Farm' they plant two acres of vegetables and pitch a tent village to prevent the land from being developed. Owned by the University of California, this agricultural research station was slated to become a shopping mall and condos. The Occupation forces a dilemma: Will this publicly owned land become a real estate development? Will it continue to grow inedible corn for genetic research used to create patents for private corporations? Or will it become a center to teach and research sustainable urban agriculture? After three weeks, riot police evict the farmers, but the crops survive, and the Occupation changes the fate of the land.
