Farming While Black
Farming While Black is a film examining the historical plight of Black farmers in the US and the rising generation reclaiming their rightful ownership to land and reconnecting with their ancestral roots. Leah finds strength in the deep historical knowledge of African agrarianism. Influenced by Karen, a pioneer in urban community gardens in New York City, and fellow farmer and organizer Blain, Leah galvanizes around farming as the basis of revolutionary justice.
