The New School Presents the multiple award winning film Common Ground to be shown on Friday, October 25th at 7pm at the Unitarian Universalist Church on 114 Main Street, Kennebunk.
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. The film is sponsored by the Kennebunk Farmers Market and The New School and is free to the public.
This film is the sequel to award winning 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.
