The must-see trailer for Kiss the Ground. Watch it and discover a simple solution for climate change. The full-length film is now streaming on Netflix! Take action at kisstheground.com
As an Agronomist at heart and by college degree this is just beautiful. The first I learned when studying soil is that dirt is a “four lettered word” and it’s so refreshing to see people learning what that means
Very well done and inspirational movie. My late husband was a farmer, rancher. They were trying to get USA farmers to do No Till even back in the 1980's. This film shows it does work. We just need to re-think the way we garden and farm. I only have 12 acres but I am a great Land Steward and try to teach others who are interested.
I'm so happy that you made this documentary! It's something I have been passionate about since I started farming with my husband in 2005. It's why we did it! We wanted to make a difference.
Kiss the Ground stands out as a documentary because of its ability to inspire and educate its audience while also providing approachable solutions. Directors Rebecca and Josh Trinkell capture the essence of humanity and the power we have as they explain how we can heal our planet through soil regeneration!
A great film! I love that the celebrities featured in this documentary are there for important reasons, because they truly believe in the causes they are promoting. The activists, scientists, and farmers all are incredibly knowledgeable and help to show the significance of the different topics showcased in the film.
kids are literally freaking out with all the negative climate news, this documentary is really important for kids to watch to see how simple changes can make a huge difference. Greta Thunberg needs to get behind this, and tell her followers that people are working hard on solutions, instead of just spreading fear and panic and despair.
This trailer has me crying right now. I’ve been saying all of these talking points for the last 3 or 4 years and it’s all fallen of deaf ears. I really hope you can get through to people with this
I feel very moved too, watching this. Why? I'm not sure. It could be that i love the tone of it, that this is being on the front foot, of win-win, of doing things that delight the heart, give us prosperity and wellbeing and immediately. An intimate connection with life, offered on this earth. What a treasure.
I'm crying, too. i just wanted to tell you you're not alone. and it must be so validating for you to see this. you deserve that validation :) I wish you ✌&❤
Kiss the Ground will have you moved to tears by the end as Jason Mraz’s “I Won’t Give Up” plays alongside hopeful videography of children, the future of our planet, showing initiative to save it. Joshua and Rebecca Tickell, the directors of the documentary, demonstrate a clear understanding of how to ignite passion in an audience. Kiss the Ground gives an opportunity for farmers across the nation to share the way regenerative agricultural practices are not only feasible but provide benefits for both the farmer and reversing the effects of climate change. Each interview emphasizes the passion they have to educate future generations on sustainable farming practices. Moving images are accompanied by an epic soundtrack that is sure to leave its viewer anxious to start doing their part to reverse our current climate crisis.
Why doesn't this comment have more responses? Beautifully said and I absolutely loved this documentary. We should get schools to incorporate this documentary in their curriculum of basic education.
Good doc but they got many things wrong and don't seem to be encapsulating the whole concept never mentioning carbon fertilization and highly exaggerated the amount of co2 storage
Farmer John well I haven’t seen it yet, but I’m just excited a movie about regenerative farming and hopefully grazing will be on Netflix and easily accessible.
Amidst a year of chaos, this film provided us with a sliver of hope for a better tomorrow. After so many years of hearing stories on the news about how climate change, I truly began to lose hope. The film redefined our perceptions of carbon and offered a new form of farming that can heal our soil. Definitely worth a viewing!!
I LOVE, LOVE LOVE this film! It has inspired me to do my small part in bringing awareness to this regenerative movement to backyard gardeners. I'm giving a talk this coming week at a large garden club in Fort Lauderdale. The topic: Regenerative Gardening.
Kiss the Ground is a documentary that, through dazzling visuals and celebrity cameos, inspires the viewer to care for the soil that they walk on. But Kiss the Ground is more than that: it is also a reminder of how delicate our environment is, and how we ought to take care of it by supporting regenerative farming practices. If our environment is healthy, so are we. I highly recommend the film to anyone who wants to be more aware of their environment.
The environmental documentary Kiss the Ground is a beautiful piece of work. Directed by Rebecca and Tickell, and narrated by Woody Harrelson, it focuses on healing the earth from the ground. The film promotes that by using regenerative agricultural techniques, we can save our planet from the climate crisis. It cleverly uses animation to reiterate and clarify many of the scientific points that it makes, so that way it is accessible and understandable for all audiences. I also like how the animations were fun, and aside from serving as a functional educating tool, it also made the movie more entertaining and added to the overall aesthetic of the film. Unlike some other documentaries, Kiss the Ground has an effortless balance of science, heart, and fun. I would recommend to anyone interested in seeing a film with a fresh perspective on the environment to watch this!
Now this is the kind of climate documentary we need. Seen a few lately that are just terrible, and this was not at all, this was inspiring. Having been interested in this for a long time I already knew about this approach since I saw the TED talk by the guy moving the cows around in Africa that's featured in this. But what I liked about this docu is that it focuses more on the solution than the problems, and it didn't try so hard to guilt people into going along with it by showing horrible images of animals being mistreated and a lot of those kinds of tactics I see in other documentaries on this subject. This mainly put the blame on governments rather than regular people just trying to make a living, and that's a good thing because for real change we need regular people to change governments. And it gives a lot of helpful tips to farmers that will not only make their farms more healthy but make them more profitable and independents from government subsidies. It's also pretty optimistic, which is much better than the doom and gloom ones that just end up paralyzing people. It also seemed to try to keep it simple in order for it to be accessible to everyone. Personally I would have liked to see a bit about vertical farms and aquaponics, but I guess they left that out to not complicate things. Totally agree with the message of this movie, if there is something us normal people can do it's this. In my opinion the approach to farming shown here will do more than going vegan or recycling the traditional way ever would.
This film absolutely changed the way we do things on our farm. I can keep my v8, reduce input cost and do outr part to ensure our girls can farm after we are gone just by going no till? Yep we’ll take that any day.
Such an incredible story! Kiss The Ground is a momentous film to watch, under the skillful direction of Josh and Rebecca Tickell and the admirable narration of actor Woody Harrelson. Kiss The Ground features a stand out team of experts with an accomplished community to demonstrate the ways that we can help restore the earth Kiss The Ground is a breath of hope for generations and generations to come.
Kiss the Ground was the long-awaited hope that we were all waiting to hear. Finally, some good news regarding climate change is presented in a way that we can all understand. This film also did a great job at including everyone in the conversation: farmers, politicians, celebrities, and others who just want to do something that will actually cause change. A big thank you to the directors, Josh and Rebecca Tickell, for inspiring the current and future generations to protect the earth and save ourselves.
I cried all through this doco, how wonderful that we already have the answers! Cheap, easy, available, not patented, not needing fancy expensive high tech. I love it!
The hurdle we have get over is that not all farmers are onboard with the 'NEW' methods. Change is difficult and the government and chemical companies are not on board it's all about the money. So sad😢
Sure is. And power and contro. Still, let's spread the word. People ARE waking up, slowly but surely. There's no stopping this trend. Keep up the good work!
I was wondering what to watch on Netflix tonight and somehow, stumbled on your precious movie. I just finished it and I absolutely loved it. As a sustainability professional passionate about climate solutions I knew about regenerative agriculture. But what you did is so compelling, and interesting, and exciting! Thank you! Thank you so much ! I shall talk about what you brought to this world around me and encourage folks to watch it. From Nantes, France, merci !
This film need to be viral. All farmers I thank you. please don't give up, at this point the only real thing that keep us together is food, . Respect the farmers, learn from them and Go farm yourself!
I watched this last night on Netflix and think it should be watched by everyone, daily. It didn’t disappoint. This is easy to do. It’s not rocket science, either! I’ve been saying this for years. Now hopefully, it will snowball and really take off. God knows, the planet needs it. Thankyou for making this doco. ❤️🌱🌿
This documentary really opened my eyes about the importance of soil to our everyday lives! It’s super informative and uplifting, and really made me want to get out there and get my hands dirty. Soil regeneration is a really relevant issue so I highly recommend this film for anyone who doesn’t know a lot about it! Also, Woody Harrelson does an amazing job as the narrator!
@@kimchristopherson3983 Not everyone. This is still in the early stages. It is not possible to immediately switch from chemicals to organics. It should be done step by step. Although this is mainly used in small and medium scale plantations, big practical problems have to be faced in applying it to large scale plantations.
Kiss the Ground is an enlightening and hopeful film made for everyone! Its information on regenerative agriculture is very useful and its upbeat tone casts an optimistic light on the topic of climate change. I highly recommend this film!
Kiss The Ground really sparked my interest in learning more about regenerative agriculture! It rightfully deserves all of its awards as it had the perfect balance of educational information and striking visual content of lands being restored remarkably through the regeneration of soil. Definitely recommend watching on Netflix!
This is hands down the BEST documentary I have every seen. I have been trying to spread this news for years, and they make it so easy to understand. This will save our Earth. The MOST important message there is.Thank you for making this. It brought tears to my eyes.
Greetings from Peru. We face problems such as illegal logging and mercury contamination of rivers in the jungle due to gold mining. This year in Madre de Dios (our most biodiverse place) an environmental defender was killed and many hectares of forest were burned on purpose as a threat to environmental defenders. We need help, more than ever, due to the current pandemic situation, the environmental issue is being left aside. Thank you for the documentary, it inspires us to improve in these difficult times.
Lucky to have met on of the scientists about a year after this documentary. Ray Archuleta gave a great online presentation to a local soil and water district in Indiana. The district is near the Kankakee River. Learning about his work and the "biology of soil" was eye opening common sense. Good Guy!
Thank you so much for this huge effort for giving information to the young people around the world to change their understanding about what is really neccesary to do for living a real life loving the nature..
I just watched this tonight and I was so impressed that I literally could not hold back my tears! This is the work I've been talking about! Sustainable, regenerative, LOVING our planet.
Kiss The Ground is an extremely rare documentary that completely avoids negativity on the subject of global change. I have never heard such a compelling case for taking care of the environment as well as my own body. Kiss The Ground explains with ease how these two subjects are directly related. I feel like a changed person after watching this film!
This documentary was absolutely fantastic! My wife and I loved it and this is exactly what needs to be done. I've been doing no-till gardening for decades and never use pesticides and make my own compost. The only negative comment I have is that Woody says that the topic has unfortunately been politicized and then he proceeds to have the governor of California talk about how great he's doing in San Fransisco and then talks about what's happening in Detroit; two very democratic areas of the country. So the film ends up contradicting itself and politicizes the topic. Even in those brief moments it's not the way to bring everyone together to make this work. It would have been just effective without adding those interview into the movie. My two cents.
Find a Republican Ag Commissioner or any other elected post who doesn’t back unsustainable farming. I don’t think it’s the fault of the producers that none can be found. I truly hope you are able to refute this, but I doubt it.
@@Chatoyant13 I have not done that research and you may be correct. However, that does not negate the fact that the documentary would be more effective at reaching folks to affect change if they didn't include politics.
@@MrAlbie18 It started with Tom Brady, a well known conservative. Perhaps you just don't like it when your politics are not front and center. If any Republicans had done anything at all except cause more harm to the environment they would have been highlighted. It only needs to reach folks who will act on the information positively. There is no need to reach those who don't believe it is a problem.
@@Chatoyant13 My initial comment was that I loved and agreed with the film. I am an independent. I would consider myself a conservative liberal if that makes sense. "My politics" are irrelevant. Documentaries like this can reach even the unreachable if politics are left out and they just talk about solutions.
So me as a teenager when I start talking about this stuff I get told that I am to uneducated to understand this stuff but I’ve been studying this for years and I understand that other people have too and I want to learn more and I want to help I’m human and this is not only my planet but everyone’s planet and I hope everyone can help me as a teenager with no money and no social media it’s hard for me to spread this around I want to help ✊🏼🌍 ❤️
Keep speaking regen. ag!!! Eventually they'll listen when they have no other options and their pockets are empty.... In the words of Gabe Brown, " they laugh at me bc I'm different, I laugh at them bc they are all the same."
Bro we are trying our best to use cover crops instead of conventional tillage, y’all need to stop bashing ALL of the farmers it’s not everyone doing the harm

Replied ok lol, don't get too emotional, if u like someone's goodness don't beg or try to get their what it would be like if u learn from them and improve urself.
This is such a necessary watch. We NEED to do more of this learning in elementary school. We need more regenerative argiculture.! A planet where people can get involved in the survival, that's how we can all serve.
I'm really looking forward to this, I needed something new to watch. I felt like i've already binged everything on netflix lol! Trailer is a breath of fresh air, finally people are paying attention!! I can't wait :)
Wow... Simply wow.. finally atleast someone decided to step up from problem-finding to problem-solving attitude... not only providing solutions, but sustainable solutions.. ❤️
If you can get through to my sister and make her understand, I know there are a whole bunch of other people opening their eyes too. Thank you for this production, we now have a shot at forward.
Charles Massy in Australia has been pushing for regenerative agriculture for years and years and years. It’s shocking how different a land with traditional farming looks compared to one that no longer uses monoculture and heavy chemicals. It’s heart breaking to see huge tracts of land turned into desert dust bowls with starving livestock when there is a known solution.
The embracing and encouraging of different cultures and people when discussing the state of our planet is not something I see often. "Kiss the Ground" by Josh and Rebecca Tickell shows how people from Haiti, Zimbabwe, France, and America are contributing to this increased presence of soil in the world to combat climate change. It is not a conversation that is only for Americans or people in a Western society, it is for those from different walks of life. For those looking for a film that captures the joy of sustaining our wonderful planet, I would highly recommend this documentary!
I've been working with and along side Gabe, Ray, and Understanding Ag for 6 years now and using the regenerative model, I have completely transformed my farm... Everyone thinks it's this "new and amazing" thing... It's nothing more than mirroring ecology... Who would have thought nature knew how to heal wounds?!?! Lol
Well... i watched this movie like 10mins ago i finished watching it and..... i love it... its a nice message for the people. People reading this, go watch this movie, it's really great, it's a great documentary.
Kiss the Ground gives a rare insight into the environmental issues the world is currently facing. I love that despite the harsh truths, they still find a way to encourage the audience to be optimistic and work harder for a better future.
Josh and Rebecca Tickell have created an educational documentary that subverts the expectations of a climate change film. “Kiss the Ground” demonstrates the importance of steering towards new farming methods that take care of the planet we live on. Woody Harrelson’s narration guides viewers throughout the film, breaking down complex environmental science for those unaware about regenerative farming. The animation team also did a great job of visualizing environmental processes, making it easy to understand for visual learners like myself. Watching this film left me feeling knowledgeable about regenerative farming practices, and hopeful about the future of the farming industry.
I got a little teary eyed watching because this earth is our home and we've treated it so poorly and abused it. We are able to live in harmony with it, but we choose to abuse it. We need to change.
I've be planting tree around our home and roadsides in our village; planted fruiting trees around research stations at Sungai Dunsun (1993), recently planted ficus in Sepilok, mangrove seedlings in Setiu Wetland and mangoes in Kenyir Lake in Malaysia.
Every video i have seen before this one, people talk about the damage and the problems our planet is facing. Crisis is real my friends. I know. But this is the first time i heard people coming together and talk about a solution! This gives hope. Our planet cam hope of a greener future! Lots of love and appreciation from a hopeful Indian. I am sorry- i mean, from a hopeful fellow earthling.🥰🥰
I watched this documentary on Netflix, then I convinced my husband to watch it and watched it him again, also I'm telling my friends about it, so impressed I am 🫑🥦🍏🥒🥬🌵🌲🌳🌴🌱🌿☘️🎍🪴 Started my little garden at the balcony in Dubai and researching this topic now❤️🥰 I want to make forest from desert🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌲❤️❤️❤️
I sent this documentary to all my grandchildren that are old enuf to have cell phones. This generation is going to live in the mess my generation is leaving them. I was really inspired by this video, i think they should show it to ALL the schools at all grade levels, start with the 4th graders, on up.
This is gorgeous. Had to watch this for a assignment in class and I'm so glad my teacher assigned this to us or else I would've overlook another beautiful movie.
I just found permaculture and carbon sequestering techniques after searching for solutions for making a larger environmental impact. I’m so excited that this is coming to the world at this level on Netflix! It’s time to turn this starship around!!!
Thank you for producing this point if view which bucks the political ideals around climate change. If only we can all head in the direction of healing the earth by healing the soil.
Will it be available on Netflix in Canada on that date too? Will share far and wide. Looks like a beautiful film. As a small farm part of a growing ecological movement...we don’t want to give up!!💕🌱💚
This was excellent. It has been our farms goals to deliver food in this way. It's surprisingly challenging to convert from a till to a no till method but entirely possible and we are halfway there. Thank you for the inspiration and additional education to keep going. Well worth the watch.
How do you irrigate? If pivot, what do you think about it feeding fertilizer/manure? My boyfriend is in ag business selling those chemicals🥴. I wish simplot could convert. Then again there’s no money in organic.
I had been waiting for a very long time for some person/s to make a DOC about the reverse of climate change (Regeneration). To everyone who made this documentary Kiss the Ground (you are the genius of geniuses) and you have saved our planet. This Doc was so touching I was very emotional. From the heavens, to the Universe, Stars, Moon and Sun 1Love God bless xxxxxx Large groups of Anti climate change protesters constantly targeted the Oil makers such as Saudi Aramco , BHP, Shell, and Cervon because they took the ideology from scientists that there is too much fossil fuel released into the atmosphere. This ideology led to creating electric vehicles making Germany one of the first countries where many citizens are now driving electric vehicles. The European population such as German and Italy are wealthier compared to some of the poorer countries like Africa, and India. This meant that only 1/4 of the population in the poorer countries could afford to buy electric vehicles leaving 3/4 of the population in hardship and only a 1/4 of the population would be working while the other is starving. Why did these Anti Climate Change protesters wanting to destroy first and foremost the Oil Industry? Because they did not give a fuck about 3/4 of the world population who are low income earners, benefits, suffering, homeless, poverty stricken and the list goes on. To this Anti Climate change lobby group are you bastards going to buy electric vehicles for the poor.....Not kiss the ground....it's called kiss my arse lol.... Let me remind you that there have been many DOC's made over the last 10 years on Climate Change where government from all around the world had gathered but reality is that What is the solution? All I see is that money wasted when this money could of been used for better resources for recycling facilities or developing education programmes about recycling within the homes, schools, Universities and other.
I agree with Roma and said about EV's. The main problem with Ev's is not lithium mining or fossil-fueled electricity. The main problem is the batteries that are toxic and combustible - www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2020-09/sflf-hda090120.php and are not only dangerous when they burn but it also harms the environment as well since it releases fluoride gas as well as nickel and cobalt and manganese oxides (as explained in the link I provided). Whenever the battery of an electric vehicle burns the toxic ash left over needs to be disposed of properly or it can get into the environment where it can get into the food chain and do irreversible damage like shown here - phys.org/news/2020-06-heavy-metals-snake-livers-environmental.html. Also the fluoride gas from burning batteries is hazardous if it is inhaled. When I am saying these things I am NOT supporting fossil fuels like Trump. Instead I am pointing out that Ev's have problems and therefore there are OTHER WAYS to decarbonize transport like biofuels. Okay Okay I know you are going to squel "OH MY GOD ERIC YOU ARE SO WRONG ETHANOL , SOY AND PALM ARE NOT CARBON NEUTRAL AND CAUSE STARVATION DEATH AFSHGXGHDGFHD BLAH BLAH BLAH."Okay so then you should learn that not all biofuels have the land usage problem of ethanol, soy and palm oil. The biofuel I am advocating for in particluar are liquid fuel made from wood ,more precisly dead trees removed from forests to prevent wildfires - e360.yale.edu/features/in-california-a-push-grows-to-turn-dead-trees-into-biomass-energy. Yeah so not all biofuels take up huge amounts of land and compte with food production.
This looks awesome with such an important message!! Doesn't hurt you've got Ian Somerhalder (and Woody Harrelson and Patricia Arquette) as part of it. :)
