DIRT

Summary: It  tells the story of Earth’s most valuable and under appreciated source of fertility–from its miraculous beginning to its crippling degradation. It talks about how our human connection to and respect for soil has been disrupted. The Movie brings to life the environmental, economic, social and political impact that the soil has. It 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.

Interesting Fact: It was inspired by the book Dirt: The Ecstatic Skin of the Earth by William Bryant Logan.

Quote: “Floods, drought, climate change, even war are all directly related to the way we are treating dirt.”
