From the filmmakers of ‘Kiss the Ground’ (Netflix) comes the follow-up documentary ‘Common Ground,’ recipient of the Tribeca Film Festival 2023 Human/Nature Award. In select theaters in the US starting September 27th, 2023. https://commongroundfilm.org Sobering yet hopeful, ‘Common Ground’ exposes the toxic interconnections of American farming policy, politics, and health, by sharing stories of destruction and healing across the United States and beyond, and how regenerative agriculture and soil health plays a vitally important role in changing these systems for the better. At it's root, it explores how people from different walks of life, different political backgrounds, and different places share one thing in common – the very soil beneath their feet. The film is directed by Josh and Rebecca Tickell, who have created bold and inspiring environmental films for many years (Kiss the Ground, On Sacred Ground, Regenerate Ojai, Fuel, The Big Fix), while winning coveted awards along the way from Sundance, Cannes, Red Nation, and Tribeca. The film features celebrity actors, activists and philanthropists Rosario Dawson, Laura Dern, Donald Glover, Woody Harrelson, Jason Momoa, and Ian Somerhalder, along with interviews with Gabe Brown, Jonathan Lundgren Ph.D, Mark Hyman M.D., Leah Penniman, Ray Archuleta, Toby Kiers, Ph.D, Allejandro Carillo, Carey Gillam, Kelsey Ducheneaux-Scott, Kara Boyd, Robyn O'Brien, Rick Clark, and many other farmers, ranchers, scientists, educators, allies and beyond. In addition to warning the next generation, the narrators provide hope for ways to fix broken systems. “As parents of two young children, ‘Common Ground’ is not only a love letter to our kids, but all of the co-narrators of the film are also writing the letter to their children,” co-director Rebecca Tickell https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/donald-glover-jason-momoa-common-ground-documentary-clip-1235510404/ Common Ground had it’s world premiere at Tribeca Film Festival, receiving the 2023 Human/Nature Award, “…a prize established to amplify a film that best exemplifies solution-oriented environmental storytelling.” https://tribecafilm.com/films/common-ground-2023 5 ACTIONS TO SUPPORT THE FILM: 1) Buy tickets by going to our website for the most updated list of cities, links and info: https://commongroundfilm.org 2) Request the film at a theater near you: https://commongroundfilm.org/request-common-ground-at-your-local-theater 3) Comment your city on our official announcement posts so we can continue to share the film to as many places as possible: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/commongroundthefilm/posts/752618696872107 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/p/CvuOMZftuuA/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== 4) Pay It Forward by purchasing tickets for others to see the film via our partnership with Gala Film, OR, if buying a ticket for yourself or a friend or family member is not accessible, request a free ticket: https://film.gala.com/films/common-ground 5) Follow us on social media, sign up for our newsletter, and connect with us here: https://linktr.ee/commongroundmovie As an independent film production, when you share the trailer and the film with your friends and family, and join us in theaters for the premieres, it makes a big difference.

We can all find our common ground through this movement to heal the soil, our food systems, our health, and the planet. No action is too small, and ever acre counts. From urban gardens to large ranches, composting to food production, ecological restoration projects to curriculum in the classroom (and in the fields), we can do this if we work together. Join the movement, and help us grow the film and the movement far and wide! http://commongroundfilm.org Thank you all.

From starvation to stewards of the land, "This Was Dunes" tells the story of how a small group of farmers in Brazil is using the ancient technique of agroforestry to take back their sovereignty, fight climate change, regenerate soil and bring back biodiversity that is being destroyed by a bad government. The answer is in the forest.

Big Picture Ranch and Environmental Working Group (EWG) Present, Regenerate Ojai, a Rebecca and Josh Tickell film. This 30 minute-long documentary film which is narrated by Academy Award Winner Laura Dern, exposes shocking truths about pesticide exposure in Ojai, a small Southern California town located in the agricultural county of Ventura, California. Drawing from data obtained by EWG from the Ventura Country Agricultural Office, the film shows that in Ventura County over 5.7 million pounds of toxic “Danger and Warning Label” pesticides are sprayed each year. These pesticides are sprayed next to residences and schools as well as near other public areas and pose a significant public health risk. People interviewed in the film recount their experiences after exposure from pesticide drift in Ojai and Ventura including pets dying, cancers, blindness and birth defects. Data from the University of California system shows significant correlations between these pesticides and animal and human epidemiological issues. The film calls for a public pesticide notification system via text (as used by other state and county agencies), for farmers to investigate switching to Organic growing methods, and for schools to use their buying power to buy directly from local and organic and regenerative farmers thus safeguarding the health of students, teachers and staff.

As the helicopters circled around my apartment above City hall in downtown LA before the elections, I sat down and wrote about how 2020 has been feeling for many of us. There's a lot we cant understand, but I wanted to leave with this thought here. Special thank you Brian Kimpson and Terry Mirande for donating their personal footage of the BLM march here in Los Angeles and Santa Cruz.
