Movie night: Kiss The Ground
Duration: 1.24 Currently available on: Amazon Prime Watch here I've included a summary here. "Narrated and featuring Woody Harrelson, Kiss the Ground is an inspiring and groundbreaking film that reveals the first viable solution to our climate crisis. Kiss the Ground reveals that, by regenerating the world’s soils, we can completely and rapidly stabilize Earth’s climate, restore lost ecosystems and create abundant food supplies. Using compelling graphics and visuals, along with striking NASA and NOAA footage, the film artfully illustrates how, by drawing down atmospheric carbon, soil is the missing piece of the climate puzzle." Review: Kiss the Ground (2020), narrated by Woody Harrelson, delivers an unusually hopeful climate message: restoring soil through regenerative agriculture could help reverse global warming, rebuild ecosystems, and make farming more resilient. It highlights practices like no-till, cover crops, composting, and managed grazing, alongside inspiring case studies of degraded land being brought back to life. The film’s optimism has won praise for making soil health part of mainstream climate conversations. However, critics argue it oversimplifies the science, exaggerates the soil’s carbon storage potential, and downplays systemic barriers such as subsidies, corporate control, and the need to cut fossil fuels. Best viewed as a gateway film, it sparks optimism and awareness, but needs to be balanced with a more nuanced understanding of the broader climate challenge.
