Planting Hope

A promo for Planting Hope shot by Chris Carrea and directed by Kimberly Townes, and sponsored by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.

This project will be the first of it’s kind to document the virtues of the Pearl Fryar Garden and his transformational message about hard work, talent and success.
