  Grow Your Own is a seasonal celebration of community and the human spirit. Set entirely on the allotments at Blacktree Road, it’s a modern story with timeless themes. The regulars are suspicious and resentful when a refugee family is given a choice plot of land to cultivate, in the hopes it will ease the trauma of leaving their country. Then more foreigners arrive in this traditional enclave. A trendy executive wants to buy up some of the land for a mobile phone mast. And people come together to nurture crops, swap advice, make friends, heal their psychological wounds and discover love. Several familiar television faces can be found among the vegetables, and comic Omid Djalili makes a memorable contribution to this delightful film.

Grow your own, 2007 Cert PG
Director Richard Laxton, 1hr 37mins, English
