Kiss the Ground

When I consider a film, one of my criteria is relevance. Reversing climate change has to be at the top of that list. Helping farmers, creating more nutritious food, and reversing chronic lifestyle diseases...also pretty damned relevant.

But the story also has to be told well. Does it have flow, is it beautiful? Check!

You will enjoy watching this, you will learn while you enjoy, and you will be motivated. All very difficult tasks, but this film was highly successful at accomplishing all of them.

What I liked 1. Peer Review from multiple people. 2. Simplistic sicientific explanation.

What I didn't like 1. No mention of the logistics and cost involved in regenerative farming.

This documentary was an immensely helpful introduction to the concept of regenerative farming. It has convinced me how benefical this method can be in sloving the problems of climate change, enough production for the mass and good use of carbon footprint. However, their promotion of this method seems very one-sided with no explanation of how farmers can implement it in real life. It gives no information about how much the initial and over-time cost of the method can be?, how long is the harvesting season?, what are the up and downsides? and many more critical basic questions even a child from elementary school will ask.

At the end, this documentary made me feel very optimistic about future, but because of lack of crucial information, it seems like a advertisment giving us false hope.

As a livestock rancher, I am leery of documentaries with vegan spokespersons. But this one covers all the bases and gives livestock it's critical role in healing the environment. Excellent job in explaining the science and role of farming in making things right. Would have been nice to have given direction in how the average person can encourage change in farming.

This documentary was informative, eye opening and inspirational. To me, it seems so obvious what needs to be done in terms of our agricultural methods. I get that people want to stick to their tried and true ways but if helping the planet means a healthier humanity, wouldn't you adjust and evolve your methods for that reason alone? The good news is that I believe that a new generation of farmers are coming up and are more interested in these planet/humanity saving methods than the good ole money making, government subsidized methods. Hope is still alive!

This movie! Great information in a way that people can understand and start to make positive and impactful changes in their behavior. It's the start of something mind blowing! I just might move to California so I can work for this incredible cause!
