Kansas Rural Center is excited to partner with Working Films and the Redford Center for a screening of "Common Ground." This is a free event with refreshments provided by the Millennium Cafe. Audience participation in discussing scenes from the film is essential for completing this project and will provide valuable feedback that can help foster community action in the future.

About the film: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.
