In Emmy Nominee Bridget Besaw´s inspiring food justice documentary, activist and urban farmer Germaine Jenkins is taking on the power structure in Charleston, South Carolina, to counter the tide of toxic food that has ravaged her community for decades.

Germaine dedicated ten years of her life to creating an urban farm on an empty city lot. Rooted embarks on an intimate journey alongside the curageous Black mother-of-two, resolute in her quest to own the land she farms - a critical first step in establishing stability for her community.

Will her oasis in a food desert survive and advance civil rights' latest frontier, or become another mirage in the battle against food apartheid?

Rooted celebrates the power of one woman’s unyielding commitment to food justice, and illuminates the path towards societal - and personal - metamorphosis.
