Dirt: The Movie

I am really pleased to have found that William Bryant Logan's book, Dirt: The Ecstatic Skin of the Earth has been turned into a movie!

In the book, Logan mixed science and anecdotal evidence, with religious and spiritual beliefs.  For some, it made what could have been an enjoyable book a little difficult to stomach.

Dirt: The Movie however gets the balance far better.

With scientific fact, anecdotal evidence, interviews with people who work closely with the dirt and rely on it for their food...  Dirt: The Movie is interesting, and emotional, viewing.

I dare you to watch this movie and not come out with a mix of anger, enthusiasm and determination.

Here is a trailer for the movie, with other clips and info being added to YouTube as available.


You can also visit the website and purchase a copy of the video for your home, school or community.  The site will be adding packs of information and further resources in the future.

Now: Go and get dirty! :)
