The H. Ric Luhrs Performing Arts Center in partnership with the Center for Land Use and Sustainability (CLUS) proudly presents a screening of: Common Ground.

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 to put $20 billion toward soil health. Common Ground reveals how unjust practices forged our current farm system in which farmers are literally dying to feed us. The film profiles a hopeful and uplifting movement of black, white, 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.

An expert panel discussion will follow the film, featuring:

• Eric Finkenbinder, Channel 27 News Chief Meteorologist and farmer (moderator)
• Will Brownback, Spiral Path Farm
• Tiana Zabela-Lopez, GoggleWorks Center for the Arts
• Lucas Waybright, PASA Dairy Grazing Project Manager, PASA
• Bill Chain, Retired farmer, teacher, and Chesapeake Bay Foundation agricultural program manager
• Kat English, Rock Hill Heritage Farm of Hershey

Don’t miss the informational exhibits! Arrive at 6pm to explore local food options, meet regional growers and producers, and learn about resources for health, wellness, and sustainability.

Tickets are available online only.
