    The Independent Film Society of Colorado along with Rocky Mountain PBS, Colorado College and the CC Film Union presents Dirt! The Movie.

    "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, takes you inside the wonders of the soil. It tells the story of Earth's most valuable and underappreciated source of fertility, from its miraculous beginning to its crippling degradation. The opening scenes of the film dive into the wonderment of the soil. Made from the same elements as the stars, plants, animals, and us, "dirt is very much alive." Though, in modern industrial pursuits and clamor for both profit and natural resources, our human connection to and respect for soil has been disrupted.

    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 who study and are able to harness the beauty and power of a respectful and mutually beneficial relationship with soil. DIRT! the Movie is simply a movie about dirt. The real change lies in our notion of what dirt is.
