SUMMARY:Livingston FilmSeries Presents: Kiss The Ground and Common Ground
DESCRIPTION:What: Double Screening! Kiss the Ground and Common Ground!Where: Dulcie TheaterWhat: FREE BURGERS AND BRATS AND FREE FILMSDINNER: 5PMSCREENINGS: 5:30PM KISS THE GROUND7:00PM COMMON GROUND8:00ISH POST FILM DISCUSSION\n\n60 years. That’s about how long we have until the world’s remaining topsoil is gone. “What we’re looking at is man-made desertification\,” said Josh Tickell in his recent keynote speech at Driving Value Through Sustainability Across the Supply Chain. There’s hope\, though. Kiss the Ground\, the documentary directed and produced by Josh and Rebecca Tickell\, with Julian Lennon and Ian Somerhalder as Executive Producers\, explores how this crisis can be reversed\, explaining that when we regenerate the world’s soils we can stabilize the Earth’s climate\, restore local ecosystems\, and create abundant food supplies.COMMON GROUND is the sweeping and uplifting story of the pioneers of the “Regenerative Movement” who are forgoing the toxic seeds and sprays pushed by Big Ag in order to produce tremendous quantities of nutritionally dense food while bringing our entire ecosystem back to life. Synopsis COMMON GROUND is the highly anticipated sequel to the juggernaut success documentary\, Kiss the Ground which touched over 1 billion people globally and inspired the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) to put $20 billion toward soil health. By fusing journalistic expose’ with deeply personal stories from those in the front lines of the sustainable food movement\, COMMON GROUND unveils a dark web of money\, power\, and politics behind our broken food system. The film reveals how racist practices forged our current farm system in which farmers of all colors are literally dying to feed us. The film profiles a hopeful and uplifting movement of white\, black\, and indigenous farmers who are using alternative “regenerative” models of agriculture that could balance the climate\, save our health\, and stabilize America’s economy – before it’s too late.
