Our wealth is imaginary. It comes from soil. [0:23]

Its under our feet and under our fingernails, but what is it? And how did it get there? Inspired by William Bryant Logans acclaimed book "Dirt: The Ecstatic Skin of the Earth," find out 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.

DIRT! THE MOVIE premieres April 20, 2010 on Independent Lens, a weekly series airing on PBS. Hosted by Maggie Gyllenhaal, the acclaimed series showcases powerful and innovative independent films. Presented by ITVS, Independent Lens is broadcast on PBS stations nationwide.
