\u201cThis is, hands-down, the best agriculture filmmaking I\u2019ve ever seen. The characters are all so likable and captivating, the graphics are stunning, and I learned a ton about ecology… but none of that would matter without Peter Byck\u2019s soul and empathy as storyteller.\u201d <\/em>\u2014Bill Weir, CNN\u2019s Chief Climate Correspondent<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Roots So Deep (you can see the devil down there<\/em>)<\/strong><\/a> from filmmaker Peter Byck<\/strong> is a four-part documentary series about inventive farmers and maverick scientists building a path to revive rural economies and ecologies with hooves, heart, and soil. Cattle have been seen as eco-villains for a long time, but can an underutilized way to graze cattle, that mimics the way bison once roamed the land, help get farmers out of debt, restore our depleted soils, rebuild wildlife habitat, and draw down huge amounts of carbon?\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Byck and his team are coming to Oxford this October <\/strong>to screen episodes 1 and 4 of the docu-series as part of their “Roots So Deep<\/em> Hometown Roadshow”<\/strong> nationwide release series.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Register<\/strong><\/a> <\/strong>to attend the FREE screening<\/strong> at Malco Cinema Grill<\/strong><\/a> on Wednesday, October 30 (5\u20139pm)<\/strong> . Food will be for sale from 5\u20136 pm and the screening will take place from 6\u20138 pm, immediately followed by a Q&A featuring Director Peter Byck and Understanding Ag<\/em>\u2019s Allen Williams.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Roots So Deep<\/em> is guided by Byck as he meets farmers on both sides of the fence\u2014the folks practicing an adaptive way to graze, and their neighbors set in their family\u2019s generations-old method of doing things. Byck\u2019s team of scientists are measuring what\u2019s happening on both sides of the fences\u2014exploring if this adaptive grazing could create soil health and farmer wealth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And one question looms over the whole series: even if the science shows that the adaptive way to graze is better for the land and the farmers\u2019 pocket books, will the old school farmers change, will they adopt a different method?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Event sponsors Etta Hills Farm<\/strong> express their excitement in bringing the film series to Oxford. <\/em>“Roots So Deep<\/em> is a must-see film for both consumers and farmers alike. The connection between the families and nature is profound and the research that the team has conducted tells the story just on its own! Come see the most compelling documentary of the year.\u201d \u2014Chris Williams<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
