In February 2023, Wishing Well Entertainment joined forces with KCET Los Angeles to present “10 DAYS IN WATTS” on both KCET and PBS SoCal. This gripping 4-part docuseries shines a light on the unbreakable spirit and optimism of the residents of Watts, a neighborhood in Los Angeles that is densely populated and underserved.

With a verité-style approach, “10 DAYS IN WATTS” takes an immersive look at the diverse and complex individuals who call this community home. Despite the challenges they face, these resilient people are determined to thrive, as evidenced by their creation of Mudtown Farms, a community garden and educational space that brings together the young and old to celebrate their shared history.

Episode 4 A Garden Grows in Watts Synopsis:

MudTown Farms opens after twelve years and the community comes out to celebrate. For Tim Watkins and family, a new day begins, and the torch is passed from father to son. The community provides feedback on the urban garden’s opening, including perspectives from a pastor, an 18-year-old double amputee headed to college, and a crisis intervention specialist.
