Free Screening of Dirt! The Movie

It’s under our feet and under our fingernails, but what is it? And how
did it get there? Inspired by William Bryant Logan’s acclaimed book
“Dirt: The Ecstatic Skin of the Earth”, “Dirt! The Movie” shows how
industrial farming, mining and urban development have led us toward
cataclysmic droughts, starvation, floods and climate change. Dirt is a
part of everything we eat, drink and breathe. Which is why we should
stop treating it like, well…dirt. The “Dirt: The Movie” screening is
presented in partnership with HoustonPBS, the Houston Press, Citizens
Environmental Coalition and Urban Harvest.
