SEEDS is a quiet, powerful exploration of Black agrarian life in the rural South told through the lens of different generational farms:
The film follows the elders of the Kentavia-Williams family farm in Thomasville, Georgia. This black-owned farm has been in existence for 142 years and is the largest farm featured in the film.
Just 25 miles away in Pavo, Georgia, we meet Willie Head Jr. (66) an honest and kindhearted individual who farms 167 acres of land. Willie’s passion and commitment to building his farm is closely tied to the future and well-being for his grandchildren and future descendants.
All along the way, the film documents communal and spatial relationships in the rural South. Our film is a simmering meditation on the act of existing in a society in which history has not been kind, nor gentle and yet, notwithstanding, one strives to persevere amidst greater obstacles.
