If you read green LA girl by email only, you opened up your inbox this morning to discover that, alas, you missed your chance to attend the advance screening for Discovery Channel’s LIFE on Mach 16!

Despair not: Another green documentary’s screening that day — and it’s free and open to the public, as long as you RSVP quickly for this opportunity. Get to a Community Cinema Screening of DIRT! The Movie.

What’s DIRT! about? According to KCET, ITVS, Bioneers and Youth Service America, the organizers of the screening:

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.

Watch the trailer below:

The screening happens Tues., March 16 in the Silver Screen Room of the Pacific Design Center, 8687 Melrose Ave., West Hollywood. The event will kick off with an organic reception at 7 pm, followed by a screening at 7:30 pm and a Q&A with the filmmakers. RSVP’s required at KCET.
