Unlike your average documentary, Common Ground transcends traditional storytelling to deliver a powerful call to action. It isn't merely an exploration of regenerative agriculture, but a compelling narrative that urges viewers to reconsider their impact on the planet, and their role in shaping a sustainable future. Directors Josh and Rebecca Tickell transcend this movement by starting and closing the film as a letter to future generations. It foreshadows both what could happen if we as a society don't start heading in the direction of regenerative agriculture, vs if we do. This contrast really adds tension to the film and emotion to the viewer, prompting them to think critically about the future of the earth and their role in this issue. By doing this, it creates a direct connection between the viewers and the subject matter. As the documentary unfolds it provides a thorough explanation of regenerative agriculture by using farmers like Gabe Brown and Rick Clarke who have been using regenerative farming techniques. They introduce us to all the pros of regenerative farming along with the struggles they have faced to get to where they are. Whether you are an advocate for environmental change or new to the concept of regenerative farming, Common Ground is a compelling call to embrace a groundbreaking path forward.
