The Seeds We Keep

The Seeds We Keep

Part narrative essay, part documentary, The Seeds We Keep lifts up a love song for the land, for generational wisdom and for the vital questions that come with seeking one’s home. In the film, cultural preservationist Gabrielle E. W. Carter unfolds a lush vision of what is, and what could be, in her meditation on Black land ownership and seed saving.
