Featured Film Kit

Inviting your congregants to all view the same film is a great way to spark discussion and inspire your congregation to take action as part of your Faith Climate Action Week activities.

Kiss the Ground Documentary Inspires Action to Regenerate the World’s Soils

REGISTER TO VIEW

“Kiss the Ground” is a new film how about how regenerating the world’s soils has the potential to rapidly stabilize Earth’s climate, restore lost ecosystems, and create abundant food supplies. This film explains why transitioning to regenerative agriculture could be key in rehabilitating the planet, while simultaneously invigorating a new sense of hope and inspiration in viewers.

This film has been chosen as the featured film of Interfaith Power & Light’s Faith Climate Action Week, April 16-25, 2021. Our theme this year is Sacred Ground: Cultivating Connections between our Food, our Faith, and the Climate. Learn more about the week here.

Plan to screen it at your congregation. Screen it virtually for free from April 10 through 26 by signing up below. View it with your family or Covid-pod in the safety of your home. Or as a congregation screen it by inviting your members to view it at home, or screen it in-person following the COVID-safe regulations in your area using a DVD from IPL. Some congregations are planning to host small, outdoor, distanced screenings projecting the film on a wall or screen. And some congregations are passing around a DVD to congregational families or Covid-pods for small screenings. DVDs available for sale through IPL (see below, screening rights included), online screening is free.
