She is taking on the power structure in North Charleston, SC to save her cooperative farm and end the food apartheid that has ravaged her community for decades. Through the lens of Germaine\u2019s relentless battle with City Hall, ROOTED follows her coming-to-power as a leader in the food justice movement and beyond.<\/div>\n<div>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 80px;\">ROOTED is more than just a heart-tugging \u201csocial issue documentary.\u201d This is a film with a game plan. Germaine\u2019s example is a blueprint for scalable solutions.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 80px;\">ROOTED will organize dynamic \u201cexpert and activist\u201d panels and educational screenings, nationwide. Not only within multiple demographics\u2014but across them. It will bring a full cross-section of socio-economic strata into the same theater. It will kick-off essential conversations, with the activists working on the frontlines up on stage\u2014and an action plan on the table.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 80px;\"><strong>HOW YOU CAN HELP<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 80px;\">Your generous backing will help us bring Germaine\u2019s story to life.
