SCREENING: The Need to Grow

FILM SCREENING: The Need To Grow

“Save the soil. Save the world.”
Executive Produced & Narrated by Rosario Dawson

A STORY OF SOLUTIONS

In a race against the end of farmable soil, three individuals fight for change in the industry of agricultural food production, calling for a revolution.
“The Need to GROW” delivers alarming evidence on the importance of healthy soil — revealing not only the potential of localized food production working with nature, but our opportunity as individuals to help regenerate our planet’s dying soils and participate in the restoration of the Earth.

“Perhaps the best film on sustainability I have ever seen.”
— Teddy Grouya, Founding Director – American Documentary Film Festival

A STORY OF RESILIENCE

The Need To GROW explores both the opportunities, and the struggles, of challenging the status quo with real world solutions.
The inspiring stories are supported by featured experts Dr. Vandana Shiva (Physicist and Agroecologist), Paul Stamets (world-renowned Mycologist), David King (Master Gardener and founder of SLOLA), Douglas Gayeton (founder of Lexicon of Food), Jeffrey Smith (author of Seeds of Deception), Kathy Kellogg Johnson (composting expert), and Permaculture Guru Larry Santoyo.

“I loved this movie…it was one of those environmental movies that gave me hope.”
— Todd James, Global News
