The highly anticipated sequel to the juggernaut success documentary, “Kiss the Ground,” “Common Ground” fuses journalistic expose’ with deeply personal stories from those on the front lines of the food movement, unveiling a dark web of money, power, and politics behind our broken food system. The film reveals how unjust 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.

With the film: This film is being presented in collaboration with Frame as a Dinner and a Movie experience. It will include a wood-fired, vegetable-forward dinner by Chef Joseph VanWagner. All the menu details are below the trailer on this page.
