Dirt! The Movie

“Floods, drought, climate change, even war are all directly related to the way we are treating dirt.”

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.

Roll Out Cowboy

Chris “Sandman” Sand is a rappin’ cowboy from Dunn Center, North Dakota (population: 120 and shrinking). He drives a semi, plays the guitar and raps. He looks like Woody Guthrie but sings like LL Cool J. Roll Out, Cowboy follows the 39-year-old country/hip-hop musician as he tours the American West during the 2008 Presidential election. Small town America isn’t as conservative as we think.

His tour bus is broken, he bought his house for a thousand bucks, and the small farming town in which he lives is disappearing faster with each passing year. Roll Out, Cowboy’s Chris Sand is the face of the dying American West. Except for one thing: He raps.

The Woody Guthrie protégé looks like a cowboy, talks like a cowboy, but writes songs like LL Cool J. When hip hop music hit the airwaves of the North Dakota badlands, where Sand grew up, he learned to rap and rhyme to the pulse of baling machines and irrigation pumps. The result? A music fusion in the raw—country/hip hop/folk/rap/cowboy. Whatever you call it, it’s unique, fresh, sexy, and distinctly western.

Roll Out, Cowboy follows Sandman the rappin’ cowboy as he embarks on a national tour during the 2008 U.S. Presidential election. He travels from red state to blue and back again; blending discordant music genres into a style uniquely his own. Through him we see a part of America that remains immune to marketing campaigns, record labels, and consumerist politicking; as if it were the truth. We witness band break-ups, small town groupies—even a brief flirtation with commercial truck-driving, when a particularly impoverished Sand needs to make ends meet.

This is not the romanticized, Roy Rogers version of the American frontier. This is Sandman. The cowboy who raps.

Family Stones

Incarcerated at twelve for a crime her mother committed, Sapana’s story is one that has been shared by thousands of Nepali youth. Shunned by her community and father, she and her brother accompanied their mother to prison after her arrest for trafficking girls into the sex trade in India.

Indoctrinated at 14 by Maoist recruiters, Chandra became a messenger for the Maoist rebels in their uprising agauinst the government, an act considered treason by the Nepali army who arrested him….

Reel Youth, in partnership with Prisoners Assistance Nepal (PA Nepal), is proud to present a touching and uplifting film about seven remarkable Nepali children and their struggle to connect to a society that relinquished them.

Filmed in part by the youth themselves, ‘FAMILY STONES’ showcases the work of Canadian Zachary Bartonas the Directer of Kamala Foundation, and it’s sister organization PA Nepal. It is a testament to resilience and the individuals who continue to rescue children from the Nepal’s prisons.

Scored with songs by the youth of PA Nepal, and violist Christien Lein, the result is a film that is much like the children themselves: captivating, ebullient and memorable.

This film was produced with the financial support of the Canadian Government through the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA).

A prolific tap dancer, Micaele started studying tap at the age of 12 after sustaining a major injury during figure-skating training. After a year at Canadian College Performing Arts her passion for dance and performing brought her to Barkerville where she performed 5 seasons at Theatre Royal. Her thirst for knowledge and excellence propelled her to continue her studies at Circle in the Square in New York City. Micaele fell in love with the big lights and dreams of Broadway but like many Canadians was required had to come back home before the dream was sated. Coming back to Vancouver, Micaele interrupted the role of the Station Mistress for Storyeum,danced her way through West Side Story at Royal City Musical Theatre under the musical direction of the late Lloyd Nicholson,played Nurse Monika in The Physicists for Genus Theatre and portrayed a Hurdy Gurdy Girl in the silent film Little Heaven and Earth.

Co-created and directed by Karen Jeffery Forget Me Not paints the picture of the inner landscape of leaving home to find your dreams, embracing the world and learning that sometimes the best things in life are found in your own back yard.

The Fred Wells Show

By James Douglas and Danette Boucher

Fred Wells lives on! James Douglas is returning in the role that gave the town its name– The Fred Wells Show. A popular original production depicting the life and times of the man that built the town and recreated the area in the 1930’s.

As the great depression fell like a fog of gloom over Canada in the 1930’s one tiny pocket of prosperity shone like a beacon of hope high in the Cariboo Mountains. An introverted but charismatic and determined prospector called Fred Marshall Wells had a hunch that there was still gold to be found in the area where British Columbia’s great Cariboo Gold Rush had once boomed in the 1860’s. And he was right – the second caribou Gold Rush had begin.

The Fred Wells Show emerges as the inner thoughts of a man of few words. It is an exploration of a person who loved to be alone with the land, and who was fiercely compelled to see what lay within it. It is also a snapshot of a precise moment in BC history – a moment when Fred wells suddenly found himself in a position to save a collection of souls from the jaws of the greatest depression of the modern age.
“We cannot believe our luck. As the world sinks in to a chasm of despair we at the Cariboo Gold Quartz find ourselves sitting right in God’s pocket.”
