Description
Kiss the Ground by Josh and Rebecca Tickell argues that degraded soil sits near the center of problems many people treat separately, including climate instability, food quality, water loss, and long-term human health. Anchored in regenerative agriculture, it follows farmers, researchers, and advocates who present soil restoration as both ecological repair and practical prevention. Its focus stays concrete: what changes in food systems, land resilience, and public health when soil is treated as living infrastructure rather than as a depleted surface to be extracted and exhausted.

About the Director / Filmmaker
Josh Tickell and Rebecca Harrell Tickell, co-directors and producers, extend a long-running creative partnership through Big Picture Ranch, where filmmaking sits alongside books, activism, and campaign work. Official profiles cast Josh as a writer, filmmaker, and environmental investigator, while Rebecca brings producing, directing, acting, and advocacy into the same lane. Taken together, they operate less like separate auteurs sharing a credit than like a single team building issue-driven nonfiction across multiple platforms.

Who It’s Best For
Farmers, food-system thinkers, and climate-minded viewers questioning whether soil deserves a more central place in environmental debate are the clearest fit here. It also works for people trying to separate regenerative-agriculture potential from branding, slogans, and political theater.

Big Picture Ranch, Benenson Productions, Kiss the Ground
Approach
Soil becomes the master frame, with scientists, farmers, and advocacy voices arranged into a climate-and-food argument for regenerative agriculture. Graphics, explanatory narration, and solution-oriented rhetoric push a clearly activist case rather than a contested policy debate.
