Garden of the Peaceful Dragon is an intimate and transformative portrait of an elderly African-American veteran who occupies an abandoned piece of government property by the beach on Kauai, Hawaii. We witness his fascinating off-the-grid existence while learning his extraordinary life-story. Unforgettably charming, Burley Luvell Benford III, upends our presumptions and challenges our worldview while earning his place in our hearts.
