“Farm by farm, we can actually heal the entire world.” Prime Video has unveiled the official trailer for a documentary film titled simply Groundswell, arriving to watch streaming on Prime Video this June. This just premiered at the 2026 Cannes Film Festival as a Special Screening–it’s rare a documentary ever gets a good spot at this festival. Groundswell is the stirring final chapter of a groundbreaking documentary trilogy following Kiss the Ground and Common Ground, a sweeping cinematic journey across 5 continents narrated by Demi Moore and Woody Harrelson. At the heart of this film is regeneration, a practical and proven set of farming practices that build living soil, store vast amounts of carbon deep underground, and produce more nutrient-dense food on the same acre of land. It is measurable. Across the globe, farmers, scientists, Indigenous leaders, & visionaries are already proving it at scale, quietly reversing 3 interconnected crises racing toward humanity: climate change, species extinction, and catastrophic soil loss. The film highlights a positive chance for real change: a groundswell of hope and a living blueprint for global renewal. This seems like another must see doc for anyone wondering how to rethink agriculture in order to truly heal the planet.
Here’s the official trailer (+ poster) for Josh & Rebecca Tickell’s doc Groundswell, direct from YouTube:
“Regenerating the world one acre at a time.” Groundswell is a decade-in-the-making doc at the forefront of a global movement bridging climate & regenerative agriculture. Across five continents, the inspiring film encounters farmers, scientists, and Indigenous leaders all reshaping humanity’s relationship to land. Narrated by Demi Moore and featuring Woody Harrelson, it reframes global agriculture not as a driver of collapse but as means to balance the Earth’s climate before it is too late. Through intimate portraits and striking imagery, Groundswell reveals how regenerative practices draw down carbon, revive biodiversity and improve the lives of poor farmers. As droughts, floods, and food insecurity intensify, the film invites us to see the very Earth under our feet as a vital and overlooked solution to humanity”s greatest crisis. 🌱
Groundswell is a documentary film co-directed by the doc filmmakers Josh Tickell & Rebecca Tickell, who have created bold and inspiring environmental films for many years – including Kiss the Ground, On Sacred Ground, Regenerate Ojai, Fuel, The Big Fix, Common Ground. It’s produced by Laurie Benenson, Eric Dillon, Ryland Engelhart, and Josh & Rebecca Tickell. This initially premiered at the 2026 Cannes Film Festival this summer as a Special Screening presentation. Amazon releases the Tickells’ Groundswell doc about worldwide farming streaming on Prime Video starting June 5th, 2026. So who wants to watch this?
