Common Ground plot
The documentary 'Common Ground' reveals an urgent message about the toxic practices within American food systems. At the forefront of this plight are the farmers and families who have lived through tragedy and disease at the hands of government policies that favor large farms. By recognizing how racism has shaped today's agriculture industry, regenerative farmers return to pre-colonial practices developed by Native and Black farmers to restore the soil, keep Americans alive, and leave a legacy for generations to come. The film highlights the need to confront the reality of America's food systems and how profit and power are the driving force behind them.
