‘Kiss The Ground’ Review
This documentary is a masterpiece. I find it very interesting and important, since it taught me a lot of essential things I didn’t know. I always thought it was very difficult to stop climate change, but this documentary showed me it’s actually very simple and affordable! Also the format is very catchy and captivating.
Despite the fact Ian is an actor and isn’t an expert in soil and biological stuff, I love how passionate he was about being conscious and how he educated himself on the matter. I think it’s very important for people who have a very large audience to use their voice wisely.
I hope Kiss The Ground is shown in every school!
