Free showing of "Dirt, The Movie" at Weston Public Library

On Thursday, March 29th at 7:00 pm, the Friends of the Weston Library and the Weston Sustainability Committee are joining forces to offer a free screening of “DIRT! –The Movie.”  The film is narrated by Jamie Lee Curtis and brings to life the environmental, economic, social and political impact of soil.  It shares 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. 

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.

 If you are already involved in the local food movement and know about “DIRT! The Movie,” bring or send a friend to learn about what’s happening to our food as a result of the industrialization of our food system.  It will be a revelation.  You can go to www.DIRT!TheMovie.org to see the trailer.  We will announce April’s movie after the showing of DIRT!
