PBS SoCal and KCET, Southern California’s flagship PBS stations, announced today the broadcast premier of 10 DAYS IN WATTS from actor and Emmy® -nominated filmmaker Raphael Sbarge (Once Upon a Time, Murder in the First). An urban garden called MudTown Farms is about to open in the Los Angeles community of Watts, built and nurtured by dedicated residents who see more than economic hardship, social inequality and environmental racism in their future. The series chronicles three generations of activists in the Watkins family, as well as students, farmers, and community leaders committed to healing past social injustices.
