The Gardens of Victory

About

"Slogan "food for freedom" expresses the theme of this film, that ties domestic gardening with large scale agriculture, with U.S. overseas wartime ploughshares offensive feeding the world. Promotes Office of Civilian Defense. "The first and only OCD film on victory gardens. Tells the story of the real and vital need for vegetable gardens in every community in America this spring." "An important contribution to the victory garden movement." Donald Siesinger "Too much propaganda. Not enough of how to do it." --Collaborator" Educational Film Guide, June 1945

"How the fighting forces and the people of our Allied nations and the starving families of the conquered countries are depending more and more on the United States for their vital food supply. How each person can do his part to relieve this food shortage by having victory gardens in every vacant lot or space." (War Films Bulletin of the Extension Division Indiana University, February, 1943, 12.) https://collections.libraries.indiana.edu/IULMIA/exhibits/show/war-films-categories/item/85 accessed on 2023-04-19
