Farming While Black is a powerful exploration of resilience and reclamation
It dives deep into the struggles faced by Black farmers in the U.S. and their fight to reclaim what is rightfully theirs: land, heritage, and dignity. Through the eyes of Leah, we witness a journey grounded in historical knowledge and a passion for agrarianism. Influenced by trailblazers like Karen, who has transformed urban spaces into thriving community gardens, and fellow organizer Blain, Leah rallies her community. This film is not just about farming; it's about revolutionary justice and the unyielding spirit of a generation determined to reconnect with their roots. Join this movement for change and rediscover the strength of a community rising from the soil.
