Konbit follows Maryse Legagneur, who chose to move from the city to the countryside to give her family greater food autonomy. But her new home holds secrets that lead her to explore her people’s troubled relationship with the land of the Americas. In adapting to her new lifestyle and finding her place in the farming community, Maryse must overcome many challenges, question her relationship to the land, and reconnect with her cultural and family heritage. Along the way, she meets pioneers of the Black Farming movement, who pass on knowledge and practices she can use on her own land. These encounters illuminate the complex realities of the Afro-descendant community and the obstacles she faces in fighting for food justice.
