The School Sisters of St. Francis and Monocacy Farm Project are pleased to invite you to a FREE private screening of Common Ground at 6:30 p.m. on Monday, May 20. Please join us in St. Francis Center at Monocacy Manor in Bethlehem, Pa. No RSVP is necessary.
Common Ground is the highly anticipated sequel to the documentary, Kiss the Ground, which reached more than a billion people globally and inspired the U.S. Department of Agriculture to commit $20 billion toward soil health. Winner of the 2023 Human Nature Award at the Tribeca Film Festival, the movie features Rosario Dawson, Laura Dern, Woody Harrelson, Donald Glover, Jason Mamoa and Iam Somerhalder.
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 of all colors 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.

In our commitment to care for the earth as our common home, the School Sisters of St. Francis and Monocacy Farm Project strive to cultivate right-relationship with indigenous peoples, and we value the agricultural methods used by them. We believe that Monocacy Farm Project’s practice of regenerative methods makes a difference locally and beyond. But there is much more to do.
