Old Chatham Quaker Meeting is showing “Common Ground” Saturday, October 19, 2024 Potluck at 6:00 PM, film at 7:00 PM, at its Meetinghouse at 539 County Route 13, Old Chatham NY.

Common Ground is the highly anticipated sequel to the juggernaut success documentary, Kiss the Ground, which touched over 1 billion people globally and inspired the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) to put $20 billion toward soil health. By fusing journalistic expose’ with deeply personal stories from those on the front lines of the food movement, Common Ground unveils a dark web of money, power, and politics behind our broken food system. The film reveals how unjust practices forged our current farm system in which farmers of all colors are literally dying to feed us. The film profiles a hopeful and uplifting movement of 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 – before it’s too late.

Free and open to the public. A moderated discussion will follow. For more information call 518-610-3735. For directions: www.oldchathamquakers.org
