An elementary economics lesson from 12 year old Victoria Grant of Canada exposes some of the fundamental flaws within the current banking system and the inherent biases it perpetuates. There’s something about the innocence of a child that somehow dispels the illusion and reveals that yes, the emperor has no clothes.

This speech delivered to the United Nations in Rio de Janerio in 1992 by a then Twelve-year-old Severn Suzuki of Vancouver, British Columbia is not only a chilling wake-up call to recognize the far reaching and dire consequences of our actions, but also now, nearly 20 years later, a reminder to the generation born under these conditions and coming of age in the face of mounting environmental crisis that it is our own actions that prove or disprove our commitment to our ideals. That what so long ago seemed to need no debate.

Dirt! The Movie

An inspirational but sobering view of the thin layer of micro-organisms and recycled stardust carrying the weight of the entire world on it’s shoulders that we so affectionately refer to as “dirt.” View the trailer below or learn more about and purchase the film at: www.DirtTheMovie.org

“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 and 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. “Drought, climate change, even war are all directly related to the way we are treating dirt.”

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. The movie teaches us: “When humans arrived 2 million years ago, everything changed for dirt. And from that moment on, the fate of dirt and humans has been intimately linked.” But more than the film and the lessons that it teaches, DIRT the Movie is a call to action.

“The only remedy for disconnecting people from the natural world is connecting them to it again.”

What we’ve destroyed, we can heal.
