Get the Big Picture on Regenerative Ag Saturday

Showing of Common Ground documentary is at McHenry County College



Common Ground is a powerful, moving and entertaining documentary about why regenerative agriculture is better for people and the planet. In my role as communications contractor for the Naturally Chicago non-profit, I participated in the Chicago premiere of the movie last November, and I highly recommend it.


Now you will have an opportunity to see it at McHenry County College in Crystal Lake, Illinois tomorrow (June 22) at a free event co-hosted by The Land Conservancy of McHenry County and the college's Center for Agrarian Learning.


Here is how the organizers describe the event:


"Directed by Josh and Rebecca Tickell, Common Ground explores how people across the country are utilizing and supporting regenerative agriculture, highlighting concrete ways to fix a broken food system.


"The film features celebrity actors, activists and philanthropists Rosario Dawson, Laura Dern, Donald Glover, Woody Harrelson and others alongside many farmers, ranchers, and scientists including Gabe Brown, Jonathan Lundgren, Mark Hyman, Leah Penniman, Ray Archuleta, and more. Common Ground is a sobering independent documentary investigating the often-toxic interconnections of farming and food systems - and providing hopeful, true examples of real change.


"Common Ground is the highly anticipated sequel to the documentary Kiss the Ground.


Stay for refreshments after the movie and meet some of your local farmers! 


"Bring your friends."


The event takes place at the Luecht Auditorium at 8900 U.S. 14 in Crystal Lake. Doors open at 6 p.m. and the film begins at 6:30 p.m. No registration is necessary.
