Michael Pollan explains how front lawns are endemic to America—and emblematic of the country's hypocrisies. “The conceit of the American suburb is that we’re all in a great park together,” Pollan says in the film. “The lawn symbolizes that continuity.” And yet, Pollan explains, despite the fact that lawns are the largest irrigated crop in the country, Americans tend to avoid using them.
"The Strange Institution of the American Lawn" was executive produced by Doug Fabrizio and RadioWest. It is part of The Atlantic Selects, an online showcase of short documentaries from independent creators, curated by The Atlantic.
