Lords of the Gourd screening
2015-Oct-24 @ 16:00 - 17:00
FreeThe Little will screen Lords of the Gourd (Mark Lewis, 2007, 60 min.)
The extreme gardeners who compete at the annual Cooperstown Weigh-Off have one gigantic goal — to raise the biggest pumpkin in the world. These gurus of the gourd nurture their pumpkins through harsh weather, floods, animal attacks and even sabotage. In Lords of the Gourd, follow Joe Pukos and his fellow competitors through the final harrowing days of harvest, and the journey across New York State with the bulging behemoths strapped into the beds of their pick-ups. Pukos is a contender — at least until last-minute rumors circulate that another grower may be set to smash the world record.
