The Dennos Museum Center

Free DIRT! The Movie Screening

DIRT! The MovieThursday, March 4, 2010, 7:00 pm

On Thursday, March 4 at 7:00 pm, CMU Public Television introduces the Community Cinema series at Dennos Museum on the campus of Northwestern Michigan College with the film DIRT! The Movie. Community Cinema is a community outreach project of CMU Public Television and the Dennos Museum Center.

It's under our feet and under our fingernails, but what is it? And how did it get there? Inspired by William Bryant Logan's 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.

This screening event is part of the ITVS (Independent Television Service) Community Cinema program. Free screenings of Independent Lens films will be held the first Thursday of the month beginning January 2010 through June 2010.
