EAT WHITE DIRT

Season 2 Episode 228 | 26m 46s | CC

An oddly spellbinding personal, cultural, and scientific history of the deeply transgressive and often misunderstood practice of consuming earth, this film collects and combines the experiences, processes, and explanations of people who eat white dirt with the scientists who study the phenomenon.
