Seeds is an ethnographic and sensitive portrait of a centennial African American farm in Thomasville, Georgia. Using lyrical black and white imagery this meditative film examines the decline of generational black farmers and the significance of owning land. As one of the few African-American centennial farms left in the nation, “Seeds” hones onto this notion of reconciling an identity within a place though visual symbolism.
