The film follows our cat, Mischa, as he wanders through his rewilded domain alive with pollinators, native plants, and wildlife. His feline observations contrast the quiet patience of nature—as observed, appreciated and respected by acclaimed Québec filmmaker, Amélie Hardy, and cinematographer, Myriam Payette, who documented it in their award-winning film A WOLF IN THE SUBURBS—with the heedlessly destructive enforcement actions of municipal authorities.
I’m pleased to announce that MISCHA’S GARDEN has been submitted to the Wild & Scenic Film Festival scheduled in February, 2027.
Emerging from the broader story behind the Ruck v. City of Mississauga constitutional precedent, MISCHA’S GARDEN is ultimately about grassroots resistance, resilience, and the power of witnessing.
