Groundswell, the documentary about regenerative agriculture that’s narrated and executive produced by Demi Moore and Woody Harrelson, today won the Golden Globes Prize for Documentary, presented in partnership with Artemis Rising Foundation.

The announcement was made at an event at Plage des Palmes in Cannes. The film directed by Joshua Tickell and Rebecca Harrell Tickell was shot across five continents and “encounters farmers, scientists, and Indigenous leaders reshaping humanity’s relationship to land.” It’s the third in a trilogy, following Kiss the Ground (2020) and Common Ground (2023).

“It’s beyond an honor to receive this,” Joshua Tickell said as he, his wife Rebecca Harrell Tickell and two children accepted the award. “It’s a massive honor, massive, massive to be up here with the family. This has been a 27-year journey since my mentor put a Hi-8 camera in my hand and said, ‘film everything that happens.’”

Rebecca Harrell Tickell said, “I just want to share that this award means so much to us, but most importantly, what it means for the movement that this film is about. The first films, Kiss the Ground and Common Ground, helped teach people how we can stabilize the climate through regenerative agriculture. And when the film came out in the United States, we were at three and a half million acres in transition and now we’re at over 86 million acres in the United States in transitioning [to regenerative agriculture]… With Groundswell and now with the support and this recognition, we will be able, we truly believe, to fulfill our goal, which is one billion acres globally. That’s 10 percent of global ag lands. That’s what we need to reach to reach the tipping point to be able to have this be an unstoppable force for us to have life and balance on earth.”

The winning film was selected from the documentaries screening this year at the Cannes Film Festival and its sidebars. The jury consisted of Golden Globes President Helen Hoehne; Academy Award-winning producer and founder of Artemis Rising Foundation, Regina K. Scully; Academy Award-winning producer and co-founder of Impact Partners, Geralyn White Dreyfous; founder and CEO of Think-Film Impact Production, Danielle Turkov Wilson, and actor Kelvin Harrison Jr.

Last year, Eugene Jarecki’s documentary The Six Billion Dollar Man, about Wikileaks founder Julian Assange, won the inaugural Golden Globes Prize for Documentary in partnership with Artemis Rising Foundation. At the Venice Film Festival last year, Ross McElwee’s Remake won the honor.
