The Ground We Share
THE GROUND WE SHARE
Two Communities. One Struggle. A Dream of Something Better.
From the sharecropper soil of Camp Hill to the coal stained hills and hollers of Parrish, The Ground We Share hopes to bring neighbors together through film, food, and conversation as a fun way to learn about the environmental issues facing our communities.
Through powerful films about environmental justice, family-friendly movies, and real conversations we’ll gather across lines of race, place, and history to imagine a different future for our communities together.
Join neighbors from Walker and Tallapoosa Counties for evenings of film, food, and honest conversation about what it means to care for the places we call home.
