Help us film Farmasis, a documentary about Black women reclaiming the land in South Carolina.

The soil of South Carolina holds centuries of labor, forced and chosen, stolen and reclaimed. Farmasis enters that soil and watches what happens when Black women return to it.

This is not a series about farming techniques, though you will learn them. It is a four-episode documentary series about the land itself, what it asks, what it gives back, and what it has always been waiting to tell Black women.

The story is told through action: seeds pressed into soil at dawn, jars sealed against winter, mushrooms growing in a climate-controlled room because one Black woman decided she would be the one to control the environment. Through foraging in a national park that holds the same plant knowledge enslaved people once used to survive. Through the specific places, a farm nearly 100 years in one family, a community garden in a zip code with the highest rate of lower-limb amputations from diabetes in the country, a wild blackberry sanctuary where women do yoga at sunrise and then put their hands in the earth.

Production runs March through May 2026 across South Carolina, with a Black woman-led crew based in Atlanta and Columbia, SC.

FarmaSis was founded by Bonita Clemmons, whose vision brought this cohort of women, and this story, to life.
