Rooted is a multimedia offering grounded in community healing and reimagining. Through expansive conversation, Rooted explores the stories of Detroit-based grassroots organizations and individuals who are cultivating authentic reconnection to the land through modalities rooted in radical reciprocity, deep living and collective liberation.
