Today we are joined by the award-winning filmmakers Josh and Rebecca Tickell to discuss their latest film Common Ground and how we need to work with nature and not against it if we want to save our planet.    Common Ground is the highly-anticipated follow up to the documentary, Kiss the Ground, and tells the story of the growing Regenerative Agriculture Movement. Narrated by Laura Dern, Jason Momoa, Rosario Dawson, Woody Harrelson, Ian Somerhalder, and Donald Glover ~ the film follows the farmers, gardeners, scientists, scholars, activists and visionaries who are creating resilient, biodiverse food systems that produce tremendous amounts of nutritionally dense food while balancing the climate, healing our bodies, stabilizing the economy, and restoring our ecosystems. Our conversation explores the critical intersections of food, politics, power, climate, economy, culture, soil health, survival and the future of humanity. Josh and Rebecca open up about their creative process, daily life on Big Picture Ranch in Ojai, the journey of making this independent film, their mission to convert 100 Million Acres in the US to regenerative farmland, and shared intention for Common Ground to serve as a love letter, wake up call and roadmap for healing Earth for our future generations.  Thank you Josh and Rebecca for bringing this film into the world and for showing us how saving our soil might just save us all!
