In her stunning directorial debut, Brittany Shyne offers a lyrical and intimate portrait of Black generational farmers in the American South. Seeds delicately captures the fragility of legacy and the profound importance of land ownership. Through rich black-and-white cinematography, Shyne transforms everyday moments—wind in the hair, candy from grandma’s purse, quiet car-window conversations—into poetic vignettes that honor family bonds and resilience rooted deeply in soil and memory.
