common ground film november 2024

On November 17, the Fairfield Theater Company will be hosting a free screening of Common Ground.

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.

Expert panelists from CT NOFA will be in attendance for a post-screening Q&A.

  • Michael Nadeau | CT NOFA Organic Land Care Program Co-Founder & Wildflower Meadow Specialist
  • Dr. Kim Stoner | Emeritus Scientist, Department of Entomology at the CT Agricultural Experiment Station and CT NOFA Director of Policy and Advocacy
  • Monique Bosch | CT NOFA Soil Health Program Manager; Soil Health Educator at Brooklyn Botanic Garden and Berkshire Botanical Gardens

Doors open at 4:00pm and screening begins at 4:30pm.
