Visually Stunning, vastly entertaining and awe-inspiring, Earth Days looks back to the dawn and development of the modern environmental movement - from its post-war rustling in the 1950s and the 1962 publication of Rachel Carsons incendiary bestseller Silent Spring, to the first wildly successful 1970 Earth Day celebration and the subsequent firestorm of political action.
Earth Days' secret weapon is a one-two punch of personal testimony and rare archival media. The extraordinary stories of the era's pioneers are beautifully illustrated with an incredible array of footage from candy-colored Eisenhower-era tableau to tear-jerking 1970s anti-litter-bug PSAs. Directed by acclaimed documentarian Robert Stone (Oswald's Ghost, Guerrilla: The Taking of Patty Hearst) this American Experience film is both a poetic meditation on man's complex relationship with nature and an engaging history of the revolutionary achievements - and missed opportunities - of groundbreaking eco-activism.
