A fantastic story about an idiosyncratic child of the sixties who inherits
his fathers farm, almost destroys it, and then reinvents himself as an
organic farmer–with flare!

For close to a century, a great American epic has been played out in the
tiny town of Caledonia, Illinois, about 75 miles west of Chicago. THE REAL
DIRT ON FARMER JOHN tells the story of one man, his farm and his family—a
story that parallels the history of American farming. But Farmer John is no
laconic, Grant Wood-type with a scowl and a pitchfork. Equal parts
performance artist, writer and farmer, John Peterson has been known to
switch out of his overalls into leopard latex or a purple-feathered boa.

*A veritable armada of icebergs appears to be advancing toward southern New
Zealand after splitting from a massive ice floe that broke off from
Antarctica years ago.

“This certainly appears to be bigger than the 2006 event,” said
oceanographer Mike Williams of the country’s National Institute of Water &
Atmospheric Research.

The icebergs were first spotted by a tourist ship sailing around the
Auckland Islands, nearly 300 miles to the south of New Zealand’s South
Island.

Williams told Radio New Zealand the icebergs are probably parts of six very
large icebergs that broke off from the Ross Ice Shelf between 2000 and
2002<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ross_Ice_Shelf>
.

*Australian Antarctic Division glaciologist Neal Young said more than 100
icebergs, some more than 650 feet wide, were seen in just one cluster.*

*He said that indicates there could possibly be hundreds more not visible in
satellite imagery.
*

Whether the floating chunks of ice actually make it to the coast depends on
wind and ocean currents the cluster encounters over the next few weeks

DIRT 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.

 Official Site: www.dirtthemovie.org - directed and produced by Bill
Benenson and Gene Rosow

*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. *
