To Which We Belong

Pamela Tanner Boll/2021/91 min/Agriculture, Climate Change

Sunday, April 25, 3 p.m. CDT
Double Fest, Double Feature!

FILM DESCRIPTION: This event is part of our Sunday Double Fest, Double Feature with Sixth Festival! Science is showing that if we draw down enough carbon from the sky back into the soil through regenerative agricultural practices, we can actually reverse climate change bringing carbon dioxide down to pre-industrial revolution levels.

“To Which We Belong” tells the stories of nine farms and ranches going against the grain to bravely leave behind practices that are no longer profitable or sustainable. These unsung heroes just might save their livelihoods—and our world itself. And in this time of turmoil, it might be the best news you receive all year.

Tickets available to U.S. viewers only.

Double Fest, Double Feature!

FILM DESCRIPTION: If you missed this film during our 2021 Season, here's another chance presented by Sixth Festival, as part of our Sunday Double Feature with them. Take an epic journey along Africa's Great Green Wall—an ambitious vision to grow an 8,000km "Wall" of trees stretching across the entire width of the continent to restore land and provide a future for millions of people. Traversing Senegal, Mali, Nigeria, Niger and Ethiopia, Malian musician and activist, Inna Modja follows the burgeoning Great Green Wall through Africa’s Sahel region—one of the most vulnerable places on earth (temperatures are rising 1.5 times faster than the global average)—laying bare the acute consequences of accelerating climate change the Wall aims to counteract: drought, resource scarcity, radicalization, conflict and migration. By Executive Producer Fernando Meirelles (Academy Award and Golden Globe Nominated Director of City of God and the Constant Gardener).
