"Shot in evocative black and white photography, SEEDS is a lyrical and intimate portrait of a multi-generational family of Black farmers from Georgia who've owned their land for over a hundred years and yet still face issues stemming from systemic racism. It's a rewarding look into the rich lives of a marginalized group whose whose daily work — farming — forms the cornerstone of civilization."
