Filmed over 7 years, Brittany Shyne's Sundance Grand Jury Prize winner immerses us in the lives of Black farmers in the American South.

By interweaving stories from three multi-generational farming families, Seeds creates a collective portrait of a long-established community and its ties to the land, as they face the contemporary issues of the US today.

Keenly observed and shot in sumptuous black-and-white, the film gently settles into their everyday lives – cotton harvesting, chasing cows, dealing with broken machinery and financial precarities – intimately capturing moments of warmth, joy and fulfillment. These striking vignettes honour the families’ connection to the land and each other.

'Poetic and political in its portrayal of families fighting to maintain a vanishing way of life'
