Jane Fonda hosts a Q&A with the team behind the documentary @Kiss The Ground
Rosario Dawson, Actrivist
Finian Makepeace, Co-Founder, Policy Director, & Lead Educator at Kiss the Ground
On Fire Drill Fridays Movie Nights we come together (virtually) to watch a film with themes of climate change and activism. Jane Fonda curates the films, and everyone is welcome to join the community chat during the screening and a Q&A moderated by Jane after the film.
For July, we’re watching Kiss the Ground, a documentary that unearths the truth about our industrial food system and its impact on our planet. The film sheds light on an alternative approach to farming called regenerative agriculture that has the potential to balance our climate, restore our water cycles, and feed the world.
