Can you remember when everyone was not "Going Green?" Experience the film that recaps the dawn and development of the modern environmental movement - from its post-war rustlings in the 1950s to the 1962 publication of Rachel Carson's incendiary bestseller, Silent Spring, to the first wildly successful 1970 Earth Day celebration and the subsequent firestorm of political action. Painting this dynamic picture with personal testimonies and rare archival media, Earth Days is a poetic meditation on humanity's complex relationship with nature and engaging history of the revolutionary achievements - and missed opportunities - of groundbreaking eco-activism.
