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

DIRT! The Movie--directed and produced by Bill Benenson and Gene Rosow-- tells the story of Earth's most valuable and underappreciated source of fertility--from its miraculous beginning to its crippling degradation. Made from the same elements as the stars, plants and animals, and us, "dirt is very much alive."

DIRT! the Movie--narrated by Jaime Lee Curtis--brings to life the environmental, economic, social and political impact that the soil has. It shares the stories of experts from all over the world (Majora Carter, Waangari Mathai, Vandana Shiva & many more) who are able to harness the beauty and power of a respectful and mutually beneficial relationship with soil.

DIRT the Movie is a call to action. What we've destroyed, we can heal.
