The Livingston Film Series will present the next in its free screening series with Kiss the Ground on Thursday, October 8th. The film begins at 7pm at the Shane Lalani Center for the Arts.
60 years. That’s about how long we have until the world’s remaining topsoil is gone. “What we’re looking at is man-made desertification,” said Josh Tickell in his recent keynote speech at Driving Value Through Sustainability Across the Supply Chain. There’s hope, though.
Kiss the Ground, the documentary directed and produced by Josh and Rebecca Tickell, with Julian Lennon and Ian Somerhalder as Executive Producers, explores how this crisis can be reversed. When we regenerate the world’s soils, we can stabilize the Earth’s climate, restore local ecosystems, and create abundant food supplies. Narrated by Woody Harrelson, Kiss the Ground is the story of a simple solution to climate catastrophe that lies right under our feet.
Continuing its latest season of screening independent features, documentaries, local films and vintage classics, doors open at 6:30pm with screenings to follow at 7pm. Admission is free, but donations are gratefully accepted. Concessions available. For more information, please visit www.theshanecenter.org.
The Livingston Film Series is generously sponsored by Marilyn Clotz & Mary Ann Bearden, Donald B. Gimbel and Carol Lalani in memory of Sal Lalani. •
