"Common Ground" - Environmental Film

Past event
Sep 14, 2024, 1 to 3 PM

By the directors of Kiss the Ground, this 2023 film portrays a hopeful and uplifting movement of white, black, and indigenous farmers who are using regenerative agriculture to save our climate, our health and our economy. We will learn how the wide-spread conventional practices of using artificial fertilizers and pesticides to grow monoculture crops has led to the loss of soil carbon, erosion, and water pollution. The film offers regenerative agriculture as the alternative; the movie details how it works and why it is important, and introduces some of the farmers who are improving the nutrition of their food and restoring the health of our planet.

One review describes Common Ground as "sobering, practical, hopeful, and inspiring, all at the same time." A Forbes' reviewer states that Common Ground "aims to spark a cultural and political movement." The film won the Tribeca Festival and the EMA Best documentary awards for 2023, and the 2024 Los Angeles Film Award.

Come to be inspired by this hopeful film!
