A landmark documentary on climate crisis, Kiss the Ground, is set to hit screens, premiering on Netflix from September 22 onwards. Directed by critically-acclaimed documentarians Joshua Tickell and Rebecca Harrell Tickell, narrated by Woody Harrelson, distributed by Big Picture Ranch and Executive Produced by India-born, RJ Jain, Kiss the Ground unveils a game-changer to our climate crisis: the Earth’s own soil. Featuring the world’s leading scientists, experts, and activists, it artfully illustrates an accessible and relatively simple solution to humanity’s greatest challenge.
“This science in this film offers an unprecedented opportunity for countries like Bangladesh to sequester carbon dioxide and stabilize greenhouse gasses while bolstering farming productivity,” says Josh Tickell. “The Kiss the Ground movie offers a way to heal our bodies, bolster our immune systems and heal our planet. This is a critical time for humanity and a critical movie for the world,” says Rebecca Tickell.
Kiss the Ground represents almost ten years and 300 hours of footage distilled into 87 minutes. Kiss the Ground is a call to action: There is a solution to save humanity, but we must act quickly. The film team traveled the globe shooting footage on five continents, gathering material from NASA and NOAA, and conducting interviews with international scientists, leading experts, and activists.
