Extended by widespread interest and rave reviews, “Growing Through Covid-19” will. be playing Monday through Thursday at 4:10 pm everyday, &amp; at 7pm on Tuesday and Thursday. Please enjoy these audience reviews.
“It’s quite an American story: family, small business, community, adversity, farming.”
“I liked the way the camera always returned to these beautiful calming shots of plants reinforcing the essential idea that nature can be an incredible source of comfort……”
Winning “Best Feature Documentary Film” at the Boston International Film Festival in 2023, this movie about Russell’s called, “Growing Through COVID-19” was written and directed by Professional film maker, Genevieve Skehan who is the daughter of the owners of Russell’s Garden Center. Nominated for “Best Original Documentary Music Score” at the International Sound &amp; Music Festival in Croatia, the film highlights both the struggles and positive experiences that came out of the Covid pandemic.
At 148 years old, through 5 generations, family-owned Russell’s GC has survived, however, in the Spring of 2020, with the pandemic raging, the family considered closing their doors forever. What happens next is truly inspiring.
The West Newton Cinema opened in 1937. Since 1978 the Theatre has been owned by the Bramante family operating as an independent community theatre showing a broad genre of films including foreign, family and first run.
If you believe in supporting small businesses, your community, nature, gardening, or if you had to adjust your life during the pandemic, this film is for you.

Our program includes Florence Price’s Abraham Lincoln Walks at Midnight and William Grant Still’s Plain-Chant for America, plus works by Randall Thompson, Margaret Bonds, André Thomas, Dorothy Rudd Moore, and Irving Berlin. Join us, baritone Philip Lima, and pianist Valerie Becker as we celebrate the American Dream’s ideals and the hope of realizing a world where people of all backgrounds can coexist harmoniously. Tickets are $40 ($10 for students; ID needed 14 and up) and are available at the door or through CommonwealthChorale.com/tickets. Admission is free for EBT/WIC card holders.
