Dirt - The Movie

Industrial farming, mining, and urban development have endangered our soil. The result: cataclysmic droughts, starvation, floods, and climate change. We take the soil under our feet for granted, but it is what sustains us, not the economy of consumer stuff that we spend most of our time and money on. Disregarding something so essential to our survival can only end in tragedy. This PBS film, premiering on April 20th from Independent Lens, shows us our connection to the land and how tenuous it is.

Heads up, this is our future.
