Groundswell, the latest film in the documentary trilogy that includes Redford Center supported films Kiss the Ground and Common Ground centering on the global movement for regenerative agriculture, premiered as an Official Selection at the Festival de Cannes and was awarded the Golden Globes Prize for Documentary.

Groundswell will be available to stream on Prime Video beginning June 5.

Green is the Fire’s Tint was presented at Cannes Docs as part of the Docs-in-Progress program.

The program gives documentary teams the opportunity to share projects in advanced stages of editing or post-production with documentary decision-makers, festival programmers, sales agents, and other industry professionals. Each selected project is presented through a live pitch and excerpt from the rough cut, helping filmmakers build momentum as they continue moving their work toward completion and release.
