Dirt! The Movie
April 4, 2011
I will never forget a college horticulture professor (yes, before I was an English major, I was an ornamental horticulture major) nagging us not to use the word dirt: “Dirt is what gets under your nails,” he would always say. The proper word is soil. So despite the fact that I was just a little uncomfortable with the title, I loved the documentary, which was inspired by the book Dirt: The Ecstatic Skin of the Earth by William Bryant Logan and explores the relationship between humans and soil.
This documentary is just as important to see as Flow. Most people just don’t realize what we humans are doing to the soil (or the water), which the movie rightly calls the “skin of the Earth.”
Check out the official movie website for more info. Enjoy!
