Marley Karazimba was the recipient of Essex County Council's Extraordinary Essex Art Commission

Drawing on his experience as a multimedia artist and filmmaker, as well as his work in community-supported agriculture and permaculture, the film - ‘Don’t Fight The Land That Feeds You’ - documents diverse individuals in their gardens, allotments, and community farms.
