Taming the Garden is a 2021 documentary film directed by Salomé Jashi, a former journalist. It was nominated for the World Cinema Documentary Competition at the 2021 Sundance Film Festival.
With a steady and shrewdly observant eye, Jashi documents a single man’s power over Earth’s natural gardens: how majestic living artifacts of a country’s identity can so effortlessly become uprooted by individuals with no connection to the nature they now claim as their own.
