Demi Moore is stepping into Prime Video’s new climate documentary Groundswell as both narrator and executive producer, with the film set to begin streaming June 5. She joins Woody Harrelson on a project that aims to make regenerative agriculture and sustainable farming feel less like a policy debate and more like a practical answer to a warming planet.
The timing matters because the documentary is landing now, after debuting last month at the Cannes Film Festival and before it reaches a wider audience on Prime Video. It is the third film in Josh and Rebecca Tickell’s three-part series, following Kiss the Ground in 2020 and Common Ground in 2023, and Moore said she was drawn in after being moved by Common Ground and by the filmmakers’ work.
For Moore, the project is personal. She said her three daughters and her granddaughter, Louetta Isley Thomas Willis, 3, helped push her toward what she called a healthier tomorrow, and she framed the choice in plainly generational terms: “What do I do today to leave our planet better for my grandchildren and my grandchildren's children?” Louetta is the daughter of Rumer Willis, and Moore has tied her involvement to the idea that today’s choices shape what comes next.
That message gives Groundswell its edge. The film argues for hope and solution-oriented climate activism at a moment when Moore says “our planet is clearly crying and hurting,” a contradiction that the documentary does not try to hide. Instead, it leans into the idea that climate anxiety needs to be matched with action, and with models that can be copied.
The Tickells traveled to communities in Uganda, India and Brazil to show where regenerative farming has already had a positive impact, and Rebecca Tickell said the narrators appear in clips about their own reasons for joining because it helps people get more engaged, makes the story more relatable and reaches a broader audience. Moore said she felt honored to join peers she believes are committed to sustainability, and she added that she knew how passionate Harrelson had been on the subject. Harrelson has narrated all three films in the trilogy, and the series now has a clear formula: celebrity voices, agricultural solutions and a direct plea to keep the planet livable.
For Moore, the release turns a personal concern into a public statement. Groundswell starts streaming on Prime Video on June 5, and its pitch is simple enough to survive the scroll: if the future is being built now, the people telling the story want viewers to believe they still have time to change it.
