The PCC Sylvania Habitat Restoration Team hosted the PCC debut of the documentary “Gaining Ground,” on

Friday, March 17th. The post-film discussion focused on highlights of and reactions to the film.  

GAINING GROUND, a feature-length documentary film, tells the stories of farmers making extraordinary changes in their farming practices so they can feed their local communities sustainably grown produce and grains. From farms in Oregon’s fertile Willamette Valley to underserved communities of color in Richmond, California, GAINING GROUND reveals the tenacity and courage of these diverse urban and rural farmers, committed to serving and empowering their communities.  See more at: http://www.mediaprojectonline.org
