Prairie Prophecy: The Wes Jackson Documentary
April 18 @ 7:00pm
Prairie Prophecy explores the extraordinary life and work of Wes Jackson—visionary scientist, farmer, and co-founder of The Land Institute. For decades, Jackson has challenged conventional agriculture and inspired a global movement by urging humanity to rethink its relationship with the Earth. His pioneering efforts in perennial and natural systems agriculture continue to reshape how we imagine a sustainable future.
This intimate documentary traces Jackson’s journey from his Kansas roots to his groundbreaking vision of “natural systems agriculture.” Through rare archival footage, conversations with longtime collaborators, and scenes set in the prairie landscapes that shaped his mission, the film blends personal storytelling with scientific discovery, humor, and a profound sense of environmental urgency.
