Antioch's Rachel Thlet PhD continues the discussion of soil.

Dirt feeds us and gives us shelter. Dirt holds and cleans our water. Dirt heals us and makes us beautiful. Dirt regulates the earth’s climate. Dirt is the ultimate
natural resource for all life on earth. Yet most humans ignore, abuse, and destroy our most precious living natural resource. The film offers a vision of a
sustainable relationship between Humans and Dirt through profiles of the global visionaries who are determined to repair the damage we’ve done before it’s
too late.
