Prime Video has acquired the rights to three feature-length documentaries about sustainability: Groundswell, Common Ground and Kiss the Ground.
Common Ground and Kiss the Ground, which were previously released, will be available to stream exclusively on Prime Video April 22, or Earth Day, including a never-before-seen director’s cut of Kiss the Ground. Meanwhile, the duo’s forthcoming documentary, Groundswell, wrapped production last year and will be released globally on Prime Video at a later date. The trio of films hails from filmmakers Joshua Tickell and Rebecca Harrell Tickell.
Narrated by and featuring Woody Harrelson, Kiss the Ground reveals a detailed look into how regenerating the earth’s soils would help stabilize the earth’s climate, restore lost ecosystems and create abundant food supplies. NASA and NOAA footage as well as graphics paint soil as the missing puzzle piece to climate change.
Common Ground combines journalistic investigation with anecdotes from those with first-hand experience in the food movement, displaying a dark web of politics, power and money behind the United States’ broken food system. It also highlights white, black, and indigenous farmers who are using alternative “regenerative” models of agriculture that could balance the climate, save our health, and stabilize America’s economy.
In Groundswell, viewers will travel around the world getting a global perspective on the three biggest (and interrelated) problems our species faces – climate change, species loss and soil loss. Viewers will also learn about the multitude of methods in which regeneration is addressing and even reversing these trends on an ecosystem-by-ecosystem basis.
