ABOUT THE FILM:
As a powerful follow-up to ‘Kiss the Ground’ (Netflix), ‘Common Ground’ is a sobering yet hopeful documentary investigating the often toxic interconnections of American farming and food systems, policy, business and health, and explores the destruction and healing across the United States and beyond. Sharing stories of folks utilizing and supporting regenerative agriculture, the film explores how these practices restore the soil, produce tremendous quantities of nutritionally dense, chemical free food, and balance the climate while bringing entire ecosystems back to life…and how people from different walks of life share one thing in common: the very soil beneath their feet.

FEATURING:
The film is directed by Josh and Rebecca Tickell and features narrators Rosario Dawson, Laura Dern, Donald Glover, Woody Harrelson, Jason Momoa, and Ian Somerhalder, along with interviews with regenerative farmers, ranchers, scientists, allies and beyond, including: Gabe Brown, Jonathan Lundgren, Mark Hyman, Kara Brewer Boyd, Ray Archuleta, Allejandro Carillo, Carey Gillam, Leah Penniman, Robyn O’Brien, and more.
