Last Thursday, I was granted with an opportunity to go to a screening of the new movie Dirt! Since I spent a good portion of my Master's studying soil, I was pretty excited to go and check this film out. To top it off, I brought the family along, and my 2 year old was not only well behaved but was actually ecstatic to watch a movie about dirt. Yes! - a young scientist in the making.
The film was entertaining and truthful, sad and comic. It portrays how our current farming practices and use of GMOs are destroying our soil, how we have paved over our soils, compacted them, and how we have let them erode away. We have completely disconnected ourselves from one of the most crucial elements of our lives. Without soil there is no food, without soil there is no life.
