Six Inches of Spoil: The Revolution is Underground
”I never thought I’d watch a movie about soil and get so emotional”.
Get ready for a film night in celebration of soil, food and farming!
The new grassroots UK documentary, Six Inches of Soil, tells the inspiring story of three young British farmers standing up against the industrial food system and transforming the way they produce food - to heal the soil, our health and provide for local communities.
A story of courage, vision and hope, Six Inches of Soil was filmed over three years, and follows three new farmers on the first year of their regenerative agriculture journey - Anna Jackson, a Lincolnshire 11th generation arable and sheep farmer; Adrienne Gordon, a Cambridgeshire small-scale vegetable farmer; and Ben Thomas, who rears pasture fed beef cattle in Cornwall.
As the trio strive to adopt regenerative practices and create viable businesses, they meet seasoned mentors who help them on their journey. The film features other experts, including New Zealand-born agroecologist, Nicole Masters, providing wisdom and solutions from a growing movement of people who are dedicated to changing the trajectory for food, farming and the planet.
This screening is supported by Quorum Sense, a charitable Trust and farmer-led network, who have brought the film to NZ.
