This short film, 'Grown Strong', revisits the Gnomes, a few years on from the original short film that we made about them. It catches up with them as they continue to produce food from a section of 'wasteland' in the DCU campus in Dublin. They talk about the setbacks, opportunities and the importance of patience.

We shot the interview and some of the documentary footage on an initial visit, and then some time laster returned to make some drone footage and additional documentary footage.
