Politics, ambition, gentrification, kale—Daniel Browne's razor-sharp satire follows one man's misadventures in the Brooklyn artisanal revolution.

After his political career implodes, Will grasps at redemption through an unlikely urban farming venture in Brooklyn's forgotten fringes. Partnering with a connected former colleague and a restaurateur with outsized ambitions, he dives headfirst into a world where authenticity is currency and everyone's pickling something.

With unflinching wit, Browne chronicles the moment when Brooklyn transformed from geographical location to aspirational lifestyle brand. "In the Weeds" brilliantly skewers the pretensions of urban homesteading, the commodification of sustainability, and one man's desperate attempt to reinvent himself amid the kombucha-brewing, beard-growing renaissance of early 2010s New York.

A biting, affectionate portrait of ambition and delusion in the compost heap of the American Dream.
