The documentary "Groundswell" will premiere globally on Prime Video on June 5, 2026 [1].
The film serves as a practical guide to regenerative agriculture, offering a strategy to restore the environment through sustainable farming practices. As the final installment of an acclaimed eco-documentary trilogy, it aims to move beyond highlighting environmental crises by providing a "how-to" manual for planetary repair.
Demi Moore and Woody Harrelson serve as executive producers and narrators for the project [1]. The film was directed by Josh Tickell and Rebecca Harrell Tickell [1].
Before its streaming debut, the documentary is scheduled for a world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival in France [1]. The production focuses on the intersection of food systems and climate health, emphasizing the role of soil restoration in sequestering carbon, and increasing biodiversity.
By positioning the film as a guide, the creators intend to empower viewers with actionable steps to transition away from industrial farming. The project completes a thematic arc started in the previous two films of the trilogy, moving from the identification of ecological damage to the implementation of scalable solutions [2].

“A how-to guide on regenerative farming”
The release of 'Groundswell' reflects a growing trend in environmental media shifting from 'climate doom' narratives toward solution-based storytelling. By leveraging the star power of Moore and Harrelson and the prestige of the Cannes Film Festival, the filmmakers are attempting to mainstream regenerative agriculture as a viable systemic alternative to industrial farming on a global scale.
