Deniese R Such a hopeful documentary! Thank you to all involved! Just when I was thinking the effort to save us from climate change was too big. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/22/24 Full Review Angelica B Kiss the Ground by Joshua and Rebecca Tickell takes a deep dive into our environment and its overall sustainability. The beginning of the film can be alarming for the audience as we have to hear about the seemingly irreversible damage that is occurring to our environment as a direct result of our methods of farming. However, with narration by Woody Harrelson, the audience is soothed as we learn that with some small changes, we actually can reverse this damage. The film brings hope and optimism to an otherwise dreary situation that makes us feel like we can each do our part to repair the environment. Interviews from various professionals on the subject give the film a source of credibility as they speak about alternatives and different ways we can farm and get our food to stop the harm we our causing to the Earth. Overall, Kiss the Ground is an excellent film that anyone who wants to make a change can benefit from watching. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/25/24 Full Review May L The documentary Kiss the Ground by Joshua and Rebecca Tickell is an extremely well-put-together film filled with accommodating infographics to help the audience stay engaged and informed of the film's overall message. Usually, when I'm watching documentaries I tend to get so lost, especially due to my lack of knowledge and the film's assumption that the viewers know more than they actually do. That's definitely not the case with Kiss the Ground, as they had multiple motion graphics either displaying definitions or statistical data that's broken down to help explain each graphic instead of it being thrown at me like a football, by which Kiss the Ground is publicly endorsed by NFL quarterback Tom Brady, who is seen in the documentary talking about the importance that nutrients have on his life as he didn't play 23 seasons eating garbage. Garbage, which can easily damage soil due to the countless food scraps that get thrown out with no regard. However, we as a society can fix that issue, as Robert Reed, a PR manager at Recology, explains how we are able to collect food scraps, turn them into compost, and send them to local farms to help improve the soil. In all seriousness, Kiss the Ground is an overall engaging film that leaves me wanting to spread awareness of such beneficial agricultural practices. I definitely would recommend watching this documentary over and over again. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/23/24 Full Review Alex R Joshua and Rebecca Tickell's Kiss the Ground is an impactful and moving film. The film is able to relay an informative and uplifting message about how we treat the Earth and how the Earth will treat us in return. Their take on regenerative farming influences the audience to consider other methods of farming. The Tickells are strong advocates for a clean and sustainable future and have lots of experience with environmental issues in the past. They do a beautiful job of outlining the problem and explaining the alternatives and the science behind them. Farmers and other advocates make appearances in the documentary to explain how regenerative farming has worked for them and how others can implement change as well. Aspects of the film such as the uplifting music and soft lighting allow the audience to feel the message of hope that is meant to influence change. Kiss the Ground is more than just an informative documentary, and I strongly recommend it for anyone looking to learn more about what we can do to help the Earth! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/20/24 Full Review Gabriella O The documentary Kiss the Ground, directed by Joshua and Rebecca Tickell, explores the potential of soil regeneration to combat the negative impact of industrial agriculture on our food supply and the environment. With the help of Woody Harrelson's soothing narration and input from various well-known celebrities like Ian Somerhalder, Gisele Bündchen, and Patricia Arquette, the film presents the issue of climate change in a genuine and relatable manner. Kiss the Ground stands out for its capacity to establish a personal connection with its audience. The film tells stories and delivers messages optimistically and refreshingly, complemented by stunning cinematography and an inspiring score. What struck me the most about this documentary was its message of optimism. It demonstrates that there are workable solutions to the climate crisis and still time to act. The film serves as a wake-up call for all of us to take ownership of the environment and strive toward a sustainable future. The Tickells' Kiss the Ground thoroughly analyzes how industrial agriculture affects the ecosystem and offers doable ways to lessen our carbon footprint. This film is a must-see for anybody searching for an instructive and uplifting documentary. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/13/24 Full Review Bella C Joshua and Rebecca Tickell's "Kiss the Ground" shocks the audience with the reality of the state that we left the Earth in. However, through gentle narration of Woody Harrelson, we are assured that there is hope for a sustainable future. The film is heartwarming and uplifting as it explores the power of regenerative farming and gives alternatives to how we traditionally farmed in the past. Many farmers give their real-life experiences as to how regenerative farming has changed their lives for the better and gently persuade others to give it a try. The film persuades through information, letting the science convince the audience all on its own. Experienced farmers and advocates explain the science behind the farming techniques in a way that's easy to understand as to not overwhelm the audience. The infographics and animations achieve this beautifully by giving visuals that make regenerative farming seem easy. "Kiss the Ground" is an informational and entertaining watch that advocates for the power of regenerative farming to the perfect degree. I highly recommend it for anyone looking for an uplifting documentary! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/12/24 Full Review Read all reviews
