Dirt The Movie

Inspired by William Bryant Logan’s acclaimed book Dirt: The Ecstatic Skin of the Earth, "Dirt! The Movie" takes a humorous and substantial look into the history and current state of the living organic matter that we come from and will later return to.

One teaspoon of dirt contains a billion organisms working in remarkable balance to maintain and sustain a series of complex, thriving communities that impact our daily lives. Over the three years of location filming for Dirt! The Movie, directors Bill Benenson and Gene Rosow got a little dirty. In that time, they filmed in more than 20 locations, including Argentina, Brazil, France, India, Kenya, and several regions of the United States.The choice of locations was driven by a desire to interview the renowned global visionaries who are leading the charge to repair this natural resource.Dirt!

The Movie will make you want to get dirty.

At the end of the film we will have a short discussion by Kirsten Kennedy Coordinator of the Pine Rivers Climate Action Network and a surprise guest speaker.

Weekend Workshops run monthly screenings of films that inspire, educate, raise awareness & that are just not available in mainstream media.We believe this film is a life changing documentary and proof that we are not helpless; each one of us can make a difference to our planet!!
