The Merwin Conservancy presents the latest film in The Green Room series. The event also includes Q&A with filmmaker Garcia.

“Unfolding with gentle joy and an unexpected beauty, this ode to the miracle of the Earth’s topmost layer gives us a newfound respect for the ground beneath our feet,” wrote a critic with The New York Times.

Drawing from cutting-edge science and ancient wisdom, “Symphony of the Soil” is an exploration of the miraculous substance soil and the elaborate relationships between soil, water, the atmosphere, plants and animals. Filmed on four continents, featuring esteemed scientists, working farmers and ranchers, the film examines soil science, our human relationship with soil, and the use and misuse of soil in agriculture, deforestation and development.

Importantly, “Symphony of the Soil” is a compelling look at the possibilities of healthy soil creating healthy plants creating healthy humans living on a healthy planet.

Garcia’s first documentary film, “The Future of Food” in 2004, was the canary in the coalmine, examining corporate domination of our food supply and the first major film to cover genetic engineering.

Her second film, “Symphony of the Soil,” has won numerous awards and been screened at universities, festivals and venues around the world. In 2013, she received the John de Graaf Environmental Filmmaking Award.

The Green Room is generously sponsored by FIM Group; all ticket sales benefit The Merwin Conservancy. Tickets are $35 ($10 for students), which includes a post-event reception with pupus and live music.
