In 1994, real-life crop artist Stan Herd traveled from Kansas to Manhattan's Upper West Side to create a massive environmental artwork on land owned by Donald Trump. The multi-acre artwork was made from soil, rock, plants and vegetation near an underground railway tunnel. Stan recruited a number of homeless individuals living in the tunnel to become his crew. Over the months it took to complete the earthwork, Stan dealt with a number of difficulties in bringing his unique, rural art form to an urban canvas. In the process, he unexpectedly encountered the true meaning of his art and it's ultimate, lasting rewards.

Highly enjoyable film, but it was a bit of a shock to my system after having experienced several documentaries back to back. It's based on a true story, which I like, but it's important to keep in mind that the director took liberties in the story. (But that's okay -- it makes for good storytelling.) 4.5 stars.
