473: Common Ground: The Dark Web of Money, Power, and Politics Behind Our Broken Food System with Rebecca Tickell


Listen Later

Weed killers like Roundup are literally killing us by poisoning our farmers and our food supply and the same company that makes the poison makes the cure. (I'll take things that make you go hmm for 500, Alex!) Luckily the filmmakers behind the new documentary Common Ground are exposing it all and you can watch it live on Earth Day April 22nd. 

By fusing journalistic exposure with deeply personal stories from those on the front lines of the food movement, Common Ground unveils 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. I've got director Rebecca Tickell here today to tell us more about it.

A hopeful and uplifting story of the pioneers of the “Regenerative Movement” who produce tremendous quantities of nutritionally dense food and are working to balance the climate – all while bringing our entire ecosystem back to life. The film explores how Americans from different walks of life, different political backgrounds, and different parts of the country share one thing in common –the very soil beneath their feet.

The film investigates the power of “regenerative” farming systems –from large to small-scale farmers who are the champions of soil health as the key to unlocking more (and healthier) food to feed America and the world. Stars Laura Dern, Rosario Dawson, Ian Somerhalder, Jason Mamoa, Woody Harrelson, etc.

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.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.
