‘Roots so Deep’ Screening + Live Q&A

WA Premiere Screening + Panel Discussion

Presented by CarbonLink with support from the Lower Blackwood LCDC as part of the RegenWA Conference and Grounded Festival event programs.

CarbonLink is proud to partner with US documentary maker Peter Byck to bring ‘Roots So Deep (You Can See the Devil Down There)‘ to Western Australia for the first time, following hugely popular screenings on the east coast earlier this year.

With over 130 million views worldwide, this compelling documentary explores the intersection of traditional and regenerative farming practices through the lens of a landmark grazing experiment. A $10 million dollar research project funded by McDonald’s, it compared time-controlled and continuous grazing across ten farm families in the United States. It’s the most comprehensive holistic study of its kind and offers an honest, science-backed look at the future of grazing systems – told from both sides of the fence.

The film provides a captivating summary of the science, the outcomes and the journeys of the people involved.

After the screening, you’ll have the opportunity to hear from a panel of experts who will bring the film’s insights into the Australian context:

• Dr Terry McCosker OAM, renowned innovator in Australian agriculture and founder of RCS & CarbonLink.
• Filmmaker and Director Peter Byck, joining virtually from Arizona.
• A local Margaret River landholder, sharing their practical perspective from the region.
• Hosted and facilitated by Kate Tarrant from Lower Blackwood LCDC

Together, they’ll explore the challenges and opportunities facing farming families, and the resilience needed to build a more sustainable future.

This thought-provoking event is for anyone passionate about agriculture, sustainability, and the future of Australian farming. Bring your neighbours, staff, family, and friends – everyone is welcome.
