Dirt! The Movie

The engaging documentary, Dirt! The Movie, employs droll animation and interviews with everyone from Nobel laureates to humble farmers, in order to demonstrate that dirt is "the living, breathing skin of the Earth." Yet it also makes a convincing case that years of destructive practices have yielded a bitter harvest: starvation, drought, floods, and global warming.

I enjoyed the documentary last week, and was equal parts impressed and charmed.
