After serving 14 years in prison, 90 days of which were in solitary confinement, Chris Buroughs is now the director of Garden 31, a group that works to localize food production in San Diego's low income neighborhoods by training new farmers with a focus on formerly incarcerated men and women as well as those suffering from substance abuse issues. MUD\FILMS’ new ‘Rituals’ series explores the enduring daily habits of people we admire.  In ‘The Importance of Ritual: From Prison to Leading a Fulfilling Life,’ the formerly incarcerated urban gardener Chris Burroughs uses routine and nature to expand his world … instead of making it smaller. Chris is up and at ’em before the sun comes up, bringing his body, his mind and his dog into total alignment.  Watch the film on YouTube.
