Common Ground

When you think of a Jason Mamoa film, you think of Aquaman or some corresponding action blockbuster. But what about a documentary? Jason Mamoa, alongside Ian Somerhalder, Woody Harrelson, Laura Dern, and more, are all part of a new film called Common Ground. This film directed by Joshua and Rebecca Tickell, descends into the topic of soil and how it impacts basically our entire ecosystem. While not about vampires or perilous adventures, this documentary spreads the most important message about how to save our home, the earth. It's an emotional, and inspiring documentary that urges action over passive engagement. The issue of industrial farming affects everyone alive at this moment. There is power in knowledge, and understanding the state our environment is in is pivotal to making a change. Considering these A-list celebrities felt this film was worth dedicating time and energy to make over other projects, shows the deep impact the film's message has. It is well worth the time to view this film and see for yourself the importance of our shared common ground.

Everyone is connected to not only each other, but also to the Earth. However, we are living in a society that is so incredibly divided that we forget this simple fact. Despite all of our differences, we all share a common ground, the soil in which we live upon. It's from the soil that we are sustained. Common Ground by Joshua and Rebecca Tickell, dives into the fact that soil is what is keeping the environment stable. Given that most of our food is grown in the soil, unhealthy soil means unhealthy food. Our health is directly tied to what we consume, and as mentioned in the film, food is quite literally medicine. Regenerative practices will be the legacy that we leave behind so that future generations can thrive. With a packed cast of actors who are passionate about the film's message, such as Ian Somerhalder, Common Ground is a catalyst for change in the agricultural world.

If you've ever found yourself anxious over the topic of climate change, you're not alone, and I suggest you watch Common Ground by Joshua and Rebecca Tickell. The film focuses on the promising effects of the system of regenerative farming, and how implementing it into farms across the planet can have effects that can stop climate change in its tracks, and restore our atmosphere. The film takes you on a journey visiting farms across the United States and the globe, meeting farmers with first-hand accounts of how regenerative farming has saved both their farm-and their bodies from the harmful effects of the domination of the food and agrochemical industries. Featuring familiar faces such as Woody Harrelson and Donald Glover offering unique perspectives as to how regenerative agriculture has changed each of their lives for the better, this film will surely ease your worries.

This film can be described as a celebration of humanity, showing the viewer not only what it means to be human, but what it means to be on Earth. The documentary Common Ground directed by Joshua and Rebecca Tickell, effortlessly shows the results of regenerative agriculture's benefit on humanity. Using personal testimonials from farmers, politicians, and scientists, the film showcases real solutions anyone can take to improve the health of the soil, thus improving their health and the planet's. With notable celebrities like Donald Glover, Jason Moma, Laura Dern, and more, the film simply explains the sins behind modern agriculture and what we can do to fix it. This film provides a much-needed glass of hope and clarity, in the midst of troubling times and is a must-watch that will show us how we can all stand on Common Ground. (POSTED ON IMDb)

Growing up constantly being told that climate change was going to destroy our planet, I always understood that reversing climate change should be our highest priority. After watching the documentary Common Ground by Josh and Rebecca Tickell, all my concerns about our environment were acknowledged. This documentary uses visual and emotional elements, like including regenerative farmer Gabe Brown to emphasize the importance of regenerative farming and the negative consequences of modern farming techniques. This documentary teaches its audience about the ways individuals and farmers can take part in reviving the earth's soil, like discussing how planting your own garden can make an impact. I truly enjoyed this documentary's hopeful message and how if we as a collective work towards helping our soil, we will be helping in the future of our climate. I highly recommend going to see Common Ground in theaters.
