From filmmakers Joshua Tickell and Rebecca Harrell Tickell, Common Ground and Kiss the Ground will be available to stream exclusively on Prime Video April 22 The duo's forthcoming documentary, Groundswell, will be available to stream at a later date and explores global regenerative farming practices

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 23, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Today, it was announced that Prime Video has acquired worldwide streaming rights to "Groundswell," "Common Ground," and "Kiss the Ground," a trio of feature-length documentaries from filmmakers Joshua Tickell and Rebecca Harrell Tickell. "Common Ground" and "Kiss the Ground" will be available to stream exclusively on Prime Video April 22 in more than 240 countries and territories worldwide, including a never-before-seen director's cut of "Kiss the Ground." Meanwhile, the duo's forthcoming documentary, "Groundswell," wrapped production last year and will be released globally on Prime Video at a later date.

Narrated and featuring Woody Harrelson, Kiss the Ground hails from filmmakers Joshua Tickell and Rebecca Harrell Tickell who reveal that, by regenerating the world's soils, we can completely and rapidly stabilize Earth's climate, restore lost ecosystems and create abundant food supplies. Using compelling graphics and visuals, along with striking NASA and NOAA footage, the film artfully illustrates how, by drawing down atmospheric carbon, soil is the missing piece of the climate puzzle. The documentary is directed by Joshua Tickell and Rebecca Harrell Tickell, who also produced alongside Bill Benenson, Ryland Engelhart, and Darius Fisher.

By fusing journalistic exposé with deeply personal stories from those on the front lines of the food movement, "Common Ground" unveils a dark web of money, power, and politics behind our broken food system. The film reveals how unjust practices forged our current farm system in which farmers are literally dying to feed us. The film profiles a hopeful and uplifting movement of white, black, and indigenous farmers who are using alternative "regenerative" models of agriculture that could balance the climate, save our health, and stabilize America's economy – before it's too late. The documentary is directed by Joshua Tickell and Rebecca Harrell Tickell, who also produced alongside Eric Dillon.

In "Groundswell," viewers will travel around the world getting a global perspective on the three biggest (and interrelated) problems our species faces – climate change, species loss and soil loss but more importantly, viewers will learn about the multitude of methods in which regeneration is addressing and even reversing these trends on an ecosystem-by-ecosystem basis. The documentary is directed and produced by Joshua Tickell and Rebecca Harrell Tickell.

The author of four books, Joshua Tickell has worked on environmental issues for over twenty years. His career spans a unique mixture of science, journalism, and filmmaking. His directorial debut film, Fuel, is the 2008 Sundance Audience Award-winning and Oscar shortlisted documentary that investigates the possible replacement of fossil fuels with renewable energy and was shown in the White House. His 2017 Simon and Schuster book, "Kiss the Ground, How the Food You Eat Can Reverse Climate Change, Heal Your Body and Ultimately Save Our World," was an Amazon Bestseller in multiple categories. As a commentator on sustainability, climate issues, and regeneration, he has been a featured guest on podcasts and talk shows, including The Tonight Show and The Today Show. He, along with Rebecca, are the co-founders of the 100 Million Acres Initiative, a coalition of brands and companies dedicated to transitioning 100,000,000 acres of American farmland to regenerative agriculture.

Rebecca Tickell is an accomplished director, producer, and environmental author and activist. Her passion for film began at a young age, having starred in the beloved holiday classic "Prancer," a performance that RogerEbert.com praised as "one of the best child performances ever captured on film." This early experience in film and storytelling, combined with her lifelong, deep love for nature eventually led her to the world of documentary filmmaking. Rebecca has directed and produced over 20 films which have garnered significant viewership and critical acclaim for their impactful storytelling. She is known for her in-depth exploration of the BP oil spill's devastating effects, chronicled in the Tickells' films, "The Big Fix," and "The Earthing Movie," which reached tens of millions of viewers. While documenting the spill, Rebecca suffered long-term health consequences from exposure to oil and dispersants, a journey she courageously shared through her films. A vocal advocate for sustainable farming practices, she is also the founder of the wellness and advocacy organization, RegenerateOjai.com.

Annie Roney of ROCO Films negotiated the deal on behalf of the filmmakers.
