| Los Angeles TimesKevin CrustKiss the Ground is the good kind of kale. It’s dense but nutritious. The science is explained in simple terms with plenty of visually striking graphics and animation. |
| The New York TimesNatalia WinkelmanThe film makes a case for the healing power of soil, arguing that its capacity to sequester carbon could be the key to reversing the effects of climate change. |
| IndieWireKate ErblandWhile platitudes about how this is really just about love — not money or industry or good old-fashioned greed — are far too simplistic, at least the movie attempts to make its issues feel personal enough to make people care. Sure, it’s cheesy idea, but that doesn’t mean that the bedrock truth isn’t real. The same logic applies to the film. |

| User ReviewlynnellevansI am so happy that I found the environmental documentary, Kiss the Ground. I have been so worried about climate change and the future of our planet, but after watching this documentary I can finally take a deep breath. Scientists and farmers have discovered a way to store carbon in the soil for up to 500 years! This could completely reverse climate change as we know it. With this process too our soil is going to so much healthier. If you have been worried about climate change I would recommend watching this to give yourself some hope. |

The complex issues tackled in Kiss the Ground are presented in such a way that they can be easily understood even without background knowledge. What makes this documentary so important for everyone is that it is all about our earth’s soil and how it can fight issues like climate change and water pollution if we support it.

| User Reviewjanettasher1The award-winning Netflix documentary “Kiss the Ground” brought attention to Regenerative Agriculture, making it a very unique and captivating experience. This documentary is unlike any other in the sense that it discusses the most important thing we need to restore before we do anything else is simply the soil. The directors Josh and Rebecca Tickell described its message by stressing the strong connection between human’s health and our planets. With the help of Woody Harrelson’s optimistic tone, these crucial solutions are not as far-fetched as we may think. It all boils down to understanding and supporting the holistic framework of Regenerative agriculture. It causes the least disruption to the soil by maximizing photosynthesis, feeding microbes, protecting topsoil, replenishing the nutrient cycle for livestock and increasing the functionality of the ecosystem as a whole. They are not only including how Regenerative ranchers rehabilitate their soil for massive amounts of land, but they also show how an average person can utilize their own garbage to help save our planet from desertification. This genius documentary turned a serious crisis into an encouraging invitation to become a part of how we will end this crisis because all humans are capable of it. |
