How easy it is to ignore dirt, the most basic building block of all. According to the Bible, it’s the source of life, and according to science, it’s essential for our existence. Narrator Jamie Lee Curtis tells the story of dirt, and the environmental, economic, social, and political impact that misuse of the soil has for our world. This may be a film about dirt, but it is also a film about hope because, as experts explain on screen, we can harness the beauty and power of dirt and still reach a respectful and mutually beneficial relationship with the soil.
