DIRT! The Movie, tells the amazing and little known story of the relationship between humans and living dirt.

Here’s the dirt… from “DIRT” movie website…

Dirt feeds us and gives us shelter. Dirt holds and cleans our water. Dirt heals us and makes us beautiful. Dirt regulates the earth’s climate. Dirt is the ultimate natural resource for all life on earth.

Yet most humans ignore, abuse, and destroy our most precious living natural resource. Consider the results of such behavior: mass starvation, drought, floods, and global warming, and wars. If we continue on our current path, Dirt might find another use for humans, as compost for future life forms.

It doesn’t have to be that way. Another world, in which we treat dirt with the respect it deserves, is possible and we’ll show you how.

The film offers a vision of a sustainable relationship between Humans and Dirt through profiles of the global visionaries who are determined to repair the damage we’ve done before it’s too late. There are many ways we can preserve the living skin of the earth for future generations. If you care about your food, water, the air you breathe, your health and happiness… it’s time to see DIRT! the Movie, roll up your sleeves for action and Get Dirty.

DIRT! The Movie–directed and produced by Bill Benenson and Gene Rosow, and narrated by Jamie Lee Curtis–takes you inside the wonders of the soil. It tells the story of Earth’s most valuable and underappreciated source of fertility–from its miraculous beginning to its crippling degradation.

It shares the stories of experts from all over the world who study and are able to harness the beauty and power of a respectful and mutually beneficial relationship with soil.

“The only remedy for disconnecting people from the natural world is connecting them to it again.”

Michael Pollan — Knight Professor of Journalism, UC Berkeley’s Graduate School of Journalism — explains why we need to transform our relationship with food: what we consume, how and where we produce it, and more. A radical new food policy is required if we are to resolve our energy, health, and environmental issues…

This is a must see for not only our awareness of what we are eating but how the interdependence of our eating habits involves everyone around the globe.

In this fiery and funny talk, New York Times food writer Mark Bittman weighs in on what’s wrong with the way we eat now (too much meat, too few plants; too much fast food, too little home cooking), and why it’s putting the entire planet at risk.

Be well,

Peace,

Bruce
