This feature documentary is an exploration of the concept of dirt and impurity. From the slums of Kolkata to Vancouver's Downtown Eastside to a barbeque joint in Central Texas, Dirt digs deep into the webs of meaning and feeling attached to that deceptively simple 4-letter word. An odyssey into all things unclean, the film features animation to make Hieronymus Bosch blush and music from Godspeed You! Black Emperor.

This film deals with mature subject matter. Viewer discretion is advised.

    This is a great film. It was dark, blunt and very insightful.

    Great! I'm a Canadian-born Bengali and can relate to the being flabbergasted by family's attitude towards the "dirty" castes, and the way dirt is just in your face there. I'm wondering if Toronto composts my human waste yet...
