LITTLE DREAMERS · BIG FEELINGS
Common Ground.
Farmers and advocates make a case for healthier soil.
Farmers, scientists and environmental advocates examine how soil is affected by modern agriculture and how different farming methods might change its future. The documentary follows people experimenting with regenerative practices while connecting their work to questions about food, livelihoods and climate. Celebrity narrators help present the filmmakers’ argument for reform.
Why it’s a little special
A starting point for older children to discuss food systems, soil science and how to evaluate the evidence and claims in an advocacy documentary.
BEFORE YOU PRESS PLAY
Know the story.
Know your little people.
The official US PG rating cites thematic material including suicide awareness, injury images, some language and smoking. The film discusses farmer deaths, economic hardship and environmental damage. Its scientific and political arguments benefit from an adult conversation, especially when separating the filmmakers’ advocacy from established evidence.
Our notes are a starting point, not an age recommendation. G and PG films can still include intense moments. You know your family best.
