The monthly screening of thought-provoking documentaries by South Rock Social Justice (formerly White Rock Social Justice Film Society) continues with the film Kiss The Ground, next Friday (March 28) at 7 p.m.
Venue will be, as usual, White Rock Community Centre (15154 Russell Ave.) and admission is by donation.
The controversial 2020 film, directed and produced by husband and wife team Josh and Rebecca Tickell, and narrated by, and featuring actor/environmental activist Woody Harrelson, proposes a solution to the Earth's climate crisis.
Kiss The Ground presents the argument that by regenerating the world’s soils, it would be possible to completely – and rapidly – stabilize Earth’s climate, restoring lost ecosystems and creating abundant food supplies.
The makers use compelling graphics and visuals, along with striking NASA and NOAA footage, to illustrates how, by drawing down atmospheric carbon, regenerated soil could provide the missing piece of the climate puzzle.
Among experts who contributed to the film are conservation agronomist Ray Archuleta: John Wick co-founder of the Marin Carbon Project; Kriston Ohlson, author of The Soil Will Save Us; soil microbiologist Dr. Kristine Nichols; and Mark Hyman M.D., director of the Cleveland Centre for Functional Medicine.
Also participating were celebrities such as U.N. Goodwill Ambassador Gisele Bundchen and singer-songwriter and agroforestry farmer Jason Mraz.
Following the screening there will be a discussion of the issues raised by two speakers from A Rocha; assistant CSA farm coordinator Leah Hart and Farm to Families program coordinator Sandra Dumitras.
