Don’t miss the world premiere of The Great Northern’s first original documentary, Rooted: Stories from Minnesota’s Farming Future. Directed and produced by Liz Tracy, this documentary short follows the day-to-day lives of two Minnesota farmers, offering an intimate portrait of small-scale agriculture in the Upper Midwest. Rooted is a love letter to land stewardship and climate resilience, reminding us that local solutions can respond to global challenges and model a more sustainable food future for all.
This special screening will be followed by a panel discussion featuring Director and Producer Liz Tracy, moderated by Jothsna Harris (Founder, Change Narrative LLC).
Rooted is premiering as part of TGN’s Climate Film Series. Each film in the series is ticketed separately and requires a paid ticket for admission. While the film series is taking place at The Main Cinema, tickets for the film series are available exclusively through The Great Northern’s ticketing platform, Eventeny.
Created in collaboration with The Good Acre, Rooted is directed and executive produced by Liz Tracy.
