Kiss the Ground - Official Movie Trailer (2020)

Winner of 45 awards and counting, 'Kiss the Ground' is an inspiring and groundbreaking documentary film, narrated by and featuring Woody Harrelson, that reveals a solution to our global climate crisis...and it's right under our feet.

Directed by critically-acclaimed documentary filmmakers Joshua Tickell and Rebecca Harrell Tickell, 'Kiss the Ground' reveals that, by regenerating the soil, we can completely and rapidly stabilize Earth’s climate, restore lost ecosystems, and create abundant food supplies. Featuring the world’s leading scientists, experts, farmers, and activists, NASA and NOAA footage, and real-world examples of regenerative agriculture, the film illustrates how the relatively simple solution of drawing down atmospheric carbon into the soil can solve humanity’s greatest challenge...if we don't give up and we work together.

I took environmental studies recently and did not know how important our soil can be to saving the planet. Thank you for this film

[gravelbar]

As an environmental scientist, it's been hard to see the sterilization of our Midwestern row crop land. Good on this movie!!

[christianpedroso]

I was truly in awe of the inspirational message that Kiss the Ground provides. Unlike other documentaries, this film incorporates amazing graphics, along with the various views and support from different activists, celebrities and farmers for the use of regenerative agriculture to heal this planet. This film will go down as one of my favorites!

[lovenfreshflowers]

Weeping for joy to see this feature film and so many big names supporting this movement. Can't wait to watch! Thank you!!

[omarijackson]

Few other documentaries really interested me in this topic like Kiss the Ground did. It was thorough, showed global perspectives, instilled a little hope, and ended on a positive note. Highly recommend this.

Learning about soil's role in our ecosystem has been a gamechanger for how I make decisions in my personal and professional life. We all eat! We all rely on healthy food systems, clean water and unpolluted air! Thank you Kiss The Ground for educating and inspiring me to take action.

[patriziavassallo]

It's time to change. The earth, the climate are giving us so many warnings... We can no longer ignore them! Great video!

[jackjackshift]

I'm so glad this film exists! I would never have known about this otherwise. Thank you!

[serenakline]

This documentary really blew my mind. It's crazy to hear that there is so little viable harvest left and we have the knowledge and ability to fix it now, but it's just not happening yet. Kiss the Ground is so important because it can help bring along change. As said in the film, this issue is really based on education and knowledge. A lot of people are led to believe there is only one way of doing things. This film shows radical optimism and empowers the viewer to make a change and look at the world.

[earsmouth]

That farmer showing us his field versus the horrid looking field next door, that was a good selling point!

[nathangibson]

I was impressed with the mission of Kiss the Ground, and how well it was carried out! Never before have I seen a nature documentary conclude with such elation to compel me, as a viewer.

[TheTaylor]

I was left speechless after watching this film. Josh and Rebecca Tickell showcased how creative they are by using an "in light of the future" approach. This message needed to be brought into the spotlight. The recovery of our planet has never felt so attainable and so real. I can't wait to see how much this documentary will have an impact on the education of younger generations. The future is looking brighter.

[lindseytorres]

This inspiring documentary presents an important message in a fascinating way. Hearing from various activists, scientists, farmers and politicians of the regenerative actions being used to save our environment gives me hope for our future.

[ashleybrinn]

Dirt plays the role of humanity’s saving grace in Joshua and Rebecca Tickell’s critically acclaimed documentary Kiss the Ground. Never have I been so absorbed in the importance of soil however this film adroitly introduces and outlines its significance in reclaiming Earth as the flourishing garden it once was. Definitely earned itself a place in my heart and a place in my recommendation list!

[nicomedina]

After watching this movie, I’ve got to say that this is a mind opening documentary unlike any I’ve watched before. From Woody Harrelson’s smooth narration to the beautiful shots of our environment, I really was captivated by what the film was about. If anyone is in need of something good to watch they should definitely check this out!

[connorjames]

This trailer left me full of hope for the future of our world! The way that Woody Harrelson and the farmers talk about regenerating our soil with such passion reminds that if we remain positive, we’ll create a better world for tomorrow. There’s no way I’m going to miss this when it releases on September 22nd.

[KenShawsanfrancisco]

Minimum tillage, bio regeneration of soils, utilization of natural and local fertilizing methods....all of the things I learned and taught in Zambia while in the Peace Corps... Excellent.

[AjaKane]

I remember Woody Harrelson's ETHOS from 2013 which is Very powerful. I am so glad to see this because there are many of us who want to help save ourselves.

[alisonanne]

I am so excited about the fact that this documentary depicts the future of our environment in a positive light and illustrates how feasible this approach to climate change really is! It is inspiring to see so many celebrities come together and use their voices to advocate for such an amazing initiative. I am signed up for the virtual watch party and Q&A on September 22nd and I can’t wait to learn more!

Thank you for the hope! My little town is on a four days off one day on watering ban right now and I have to watch my beautiful backyard garden die this week. 3 weeks til harvest. 30+ meals for winter and all kinds of fresh snacks for my family.... and it just gets to die now. :'( This video made me smile.
