Common Ground

Presented by Hot Docs at Hot Docs Ted Rogers Cinema

From the filmmakers of highly impactful Kiss the Ground comes the follow-up documentary Common Ground, recipient of the Tribeca Film Festival 2023 Human/Nature Award.

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.

Directors Josh and Rebecca Tickell have created bold and inspiring environmental films for many years (Kiss the GroundRegenerate OjaiThe Big Fix), while winning coveted awards along the way from Sundance, Cannes, Red Nation and Tribeca.

Common Ground features celebrity actors, activists and philanthropists Rosario Dawson, Laura Dern, Donald Glover, Woody Harrelson, Jason Momoa and Ian Somerhalder, along with interviews with farmers, ranchers, leading scientists and educators, allies and beyond.

“As parents of two young children, Common Ground is not only a love letter to our kids, “says co-director Rebecca Tickell. "But all of the co-narrators of the film are also writing the letter to their children.”

Join directors Joshua Tickell and Rebecca Harrell Tickell for a Q&A after the January 17 screening.

Tickets: $15 (Members from $10)
