SEEDS

“Gorgeous … A must-see … An incredibly rewarding journey, a film indebted to the past that feels brilliantly alive.” —IndieWire “Extraordinarily beautiful … like a softly sung ballad, handed down from generation to generation.” —The New York Times “A work of protest art and political activism through sheer poetry.” —Rolling Stone With expressive black and white photography, SEEDS captures the stories of modern Black farmers in the South in poetic vignettes, shot over a decade. Filmmaker Brittany Shyne captures intimate moments of daily life with her characters, including their deep connections to land and community and their struggles to make the economics of farming work in a system that is often stacked against them. Winner of the Grand Jury Prize at the Sundance Film Festival for Best Documentary Film. A 2025 AFS Doc Days selection.
