The Berkshire International Film Festival will screen “Farming While Black” at 7 p.m. Friday at the Triplex Cinema as part of BIFF’s seventh annual Environmental Film Focus Series.

Directed by Mark Decena, the film examines the historical plight of Black farmers in the United States and the rising generation of Black farmers reclaiming their rightful ownership to land and reconnecting with their ancestral roots.

The film chronicles Leah Penniman, cofounder of Soul Fire Farm in upstate New York, and two other Black farmers’ efforts to reclaim their agricultural heritage.

A conversation with Penniman and BIFF programmer Lillian Lennox will follow the screening. Tickets at biffma.org are free for REEL Friends of BIFF and $15 for the general public
