Dirt! The Movie Premieres Tonight on Independent Lens on PBS
"Charming... Dirt! The Movie digs deep into soil. -San Francisco Chronicle
"An invigorating look at an invaluable substance we take for granted that makes the case that 'dirt might be more alive than we are.'" -Los Angeles Times
It’s under our feet and under our fingernails, but what is it? And how did it get there? Inspired by William Bryant Logan’s acclaimed book Dirt: The Ecstatic Skin of the Earth, find out how industrial farming, mining and urban development have led us toward cataclysmic droughts, starvation, floods and climate change. Dirt is a part of everything we eat, drink and breathe. Which is why we should stop treating it like, well … dirt.
Dirt! The Movie premieres tonight, Tuesday, April 20 at 10:00 on Independent Lens on PBS (check local listings).
