This award-winning film examines how tilling and pesticides have led to soil erosion, and then traces the damage done to our ecology, health and climate. The filmmakers find a solution in regenerative farming, an ethical practice designed to restore degraded lands and facilitate carbon drawdown—a potentially huge part of a solution to the climate crisis. Directed by Joshua Tickell and Rebecca Harrell Tickell, whose credits include other socially conscious documentaries such as The Big Fix and Pump.

We have the potential to harness the photosynthetic power of plants to draw carbon back down from the atmosphere into the soil.
