A look back to the dawn and development of the modern environmental movement from the 1950s to the first 1970 Earth Day celebration and the subsequent firestorm of political action.
AMERICAN EXPERIENCE would like to invite you to a special event, exclusively for Facebook users. On Sunday, April 11, join us for a live social screening of our new film EARTH DAYS, a visually stunning and vastly entertaining history of the modern environmental movement that Entertainment Weekly calls “rapturous and englightening.” As you watch, you'll be able to discuss the film in real time with other viewers, director Robert Stone, and AMERICAN EXPERIENCE executive producer Mark Samels. The viewing starts at 8:00pm EST – don’t miss out on this special event!
**
In EARTH DAYS, acclaimed director Robert Stone (Oswald’s Ghost, Guerrilla: The Taking of Patty Hearst) traces the origins of the modern environmental movement through the eyes of nine Americans who propelled the movement from its beginnings in the 1950s to its moment of triumph in 1970 with the original Earth Day, and to its status as a major political force in America.
Drawing heavily on eyewitness testimony and a wealth of never before seen archival footage, Stone examines the revolutionary achievements—and missed opportunities—of a decade of groundbreaking activism. The result is both a poetic meditation on man’s complex relationship with nature and a probing analysis of past responses to environmental crisis.
