We are very excited to be back at the Cinema Arts Centre with Slow Food North Shore, to screen the award winning documentary, “Common Ground.” Common Ground is the highly anticipated sequel to the hit documentary, Kiss the Ground. This
new powerful film reveals how unjust practices forged our current farm
system in which farmers of all colors are literally dying to feed us. By
fusing journalistic expose’ with deeply personal stories, Common Ground unveils
a dark web of money, power, and politics behind our broken food system,
while also profiling a movement of farmers who are using alternative
“regenerative” models of agriculture that could balance the climate, our
health, and stabilize America’s economy. (2023, 105 mins)
Following the film, Slow Food North Shore and iEat Green invite you to join us in the Sky Cafe for a reception and conversation.
