Wildscreenings: Gimme Green (PG)

Lawns are undeniably an American symbol. But what do they really symbolize? Pride and prosperity? Or waste and conformity? Gimme Green is a humorous look at the American obsession with the residential lawn and the effects is has on their environment, wallets and outlook on life. It’s estimated that Americans use approximately half of their household water to keep their yards looking good. By examining the social, commercial and environmental pressures surrounding the green grass aesthetic, the film explores how Americans are pressured into consuming in order to conform.
