Alameda Backyard Growers presents Dirt! The Movie at the Alameda Main Library on Sunday, January 9, 2011.
Dirt! The Movie is an insightful and timely film that tells the story of the glorious and unappreciated material beneath our feet. Inspired by William Bryant Logan's acclaimed book Dirt: The Ecstatic Skin of the Earth, Dirt! The Movie takes a humorous and substantial look into the history and current state of the living organic matter that we come from and will later return to.
The program will be held in the large community room near the café at the back of the library.
