The Barefoot Artist

In the 1980s, Chinese émigré and Philadelphia art professor Lily Yeh began a movement to transform abandoned lots throughout her adopted city into art parks marked by gardens, sculptures, and murals. In the new millennium, she took her message and methods around the globe─from Kenya and Rwanda to Ecuador to her native land─and this documentary shows how she helped stricken communities embrace the healing power of expression. 83 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English.
