SEEDS (2025, 2h 3m) - Winner of the Grand Jury Prize: Documentary at the 2025 Sundance Film Festival.

Interweaving the stories of three Black generational farmers, Seeds is a moving and powerful portrait of farming today that celebrates the joys, struggles, and fragility of legacy and owning land. With remarkable intimacy, the film documents the everyday lives of octogenarian Black farmers in rural Georgia — cotton harvesting, chasing cows, dealing with broken machinery and financial precarities. 

The camera relishes simple moments — conversations through car windows, candy from grandma’s purse, capturing moments of warmth, joy and fulfillment and turning them into striking vignettes that honor the families’ connection to the land and each other.
But the sobering reality underscores the urgency of their story. Black farmers owned 16 million acres of land in 1910 but today, that number has dwindled to a fraction. 

The farmers in the community struggle to access funding that white farmers nearby seem to secure with ease. Through these inter-generational stories, Seeds explores the cycles of inequity and embedded racism that persist to this present day, and the signs of hope and renewal with younger generations of farmers.
