Review of Kiss the Ground (2020) by Kemunroe — 27 May 2021

“The truth is, I’ve given up.”.

Woody Harrelson delivers a strong and optimistic voice for the conversation in saving our earth in Kiss the Ground. Kiss the Ground is a full-length documentary that inspires a new approach to a decades old problem, promising audiences that regenerative agriculture can lead us to replenishing water, restoring our habitats, and healing our bodies. This film speaks to those who may deem reversing the effects of climate change to be an intimidating feat. Unlike most climate-crisis documentaries, Kiss the Ground offers a soft pitch, rooting its ideas in a sense of community, humanity, and leadership. It keeps the good-hearted message light and easy to swallow by focusing on simple ways we can make positive changes in our lifestyles, no matter our path in life. This film steers away from driving fear into audiences, captivating my interest, and giving me the opportunity to learn that the answer to preserving humanity can be completed in just 20 years-within a lifetime.
