Louisiana Grass Roots tells the story of our forgotten prairie lands and the people working to save them. The film seeks to redefine our perception of the prairie, transforming it from a mere backdrop to an intricate tapestry of human connection and ecological significance.
The film is directed by Jillian Godshall and produced by Dr. Phyllis Baudoin Griffard. It was filmed locally in Acadiana with an all local crew. The film features Geno Delafose, Megan Constantin, Dr. Jeffery Darensbourg, Dr. Charles Allen, Dr. Malcolm Vidrine, Larry Allain, and Steve Nevitt. The original score was composed by Grammynominated musician, Blake Miller.
The film was supported in part by Acadiana Center for the Arts, Cajun Prairie Habitat Preservation Society, Atchafalaya National Heritage Area, Louisiana Native Plant Society, University of Louisiana at Lafayette Foundation, and Acadiana Native Plant Project.
