Documentary Night at Miller Farm

Come watch a screening of the 2023 documentary “Common Ground” under the stars. Bring a blanket or chairs and learn about the politics of soil health.

From the film's website:
“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 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. 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.
