Farm Film and Music Series – Common Ground Screening

Thursday, June 26 @ 6:00 pm to 9:00 pm
Coastal Roots Farm

Experience Film, Music, and Meaningful Conversation on the Farm

Join us on the Farm for an evening of community, live music, and transformative storytelling. Part of our 5-part Farm Film & Music Series, this event invites guests to gather under the stars and engage in inspiring dialogue about regenerative agriculture, environmental justice, and the future of our food systems.

This screening will feature “Common Ground,” the follow-up documentary to Kiss the Ground, directed by Josh and Rebecca Tickell. Winner of the Tribeca Film Festival, this powerful film features voices like Laura Dern, Jason Momoa, Woody Harrelson, Rosario Dawson, Donald Glover, and others. Common Ground offers real hope through concrete solutions to heal our soil, our health, and our planet.
