The Need To Grow, a documentary from Rob Herring and Ryan Wirick and narrated by Rosario Dawson about the fight to save the planet’s vanishing topsoil, will be available for free for five days next month after its L.A. premiere.

The Need to Grow
Logline: With an estimated 60 years of soil left on Earth, “The Need To Grow” follows innovators of low and high tech solutions to help localize food and regenerate our planet’s dying soils.
Elevator Pitch:
