Farming is more than a livelihood — it’s a form of resistance, resilience, and renewal. The award-winning FARMING WHILE BLACK follows a new generation of young farmers working to reclaim their connection and access to land and lead the way in sustainable agriculture. After the screening, join us for a panel and community dialogue on the topic of young farmers and land access. THE FILM
Farming While Black (2023, USA, 75 min) - Examines the historical plight of Black farmers in the United States and the rising generation reclaiming their rightful ownership to land and reconnecting with their ancestral roots. As the co-founder of Soul Fire Farm in upstate New York, Leah Penniman finds strength in the deep historical knowledge of African agrarianism – agricultural practices that can heal people and the planet. Influenced and inspired by Karen Washington, a pioneer in urban community gardens in New York City, and fellow farmer and organizer Blain Snipstal, Leah galvanizes around farming as the basis of revolutionary justice.
