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 exposé with deeply personal stories from those on the front lines of the sustainable food movement, Common Ground unveils the dark web of money, power, and politics behind our broken food system.
Narrated by a cast of Hollywood stars, including Laura Dern, Jason Momoa, Rosario Dawson, Ian Somerhalder, Woody Harrelson and Donald Glover, 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 planet’s health before it’s too late
“Common Ground is that rare documentary that actually propose solutions, practical solutions” - Film Threat
“A sobering yet inspiring rallying cry for revamping the world’s farming system.” – Alliance of Women Film Journalists
“Aims to spark a cultural and political movement.” - Forbes
