SEEDS is a documentary that takes a sensitive exploration of an African-American family that has owned their farm for over 100 years. This film is a visual cultural essay that blends the richness of the South to create a photographic portrait of southern black farmers. Seeds will examine the plight of black farmers and the historical importance of land ownership and generational wealth. As one of the few African-American centennial farms left in the nation, “Seeds” hones onto this notion of reconciling an identity within a place through poetic visual symbolism.
