Deal Film Shows 'Six Inches of Soil'

 


Thank you to everyone who supported of film shows of ‘Six Inches of Soil’ and our apologies to anyone who we could not fit in. We had 79 people see the film and at the first showing we were lucky to have 5 local farmers present

Many thanks to Jack Scott for speaking at both events and to the Kent Museum of the Moving Image for hosting us. We are especially grateful to their volunteers for looking after us so well.

We took some £268 in donations which as well as covering our costs of £118.64 (for the film licenses & printing) allowed us to donate £150 to the Kent MoMI

Audience members can give feedback on the film : https://forms.gle/brn1NKj3gvwzBLY67 

You can now stream the film (£)in the UK on Amazon Prime or Vimeo .

The film producers have a Dig Deeper section on our website to discover more and the Six Inches of Soil BOOK! “Six Inches of Soil: How to Heal Our Soils, Ourselves, and Our Communities Through Regenerative Farming”.
