When pioneering environmentalist Rachel Carson published “Silent Spring” in 1962, the backlash from her critics thrust her into the center of a political maelstrom. Despite her private persona, her convictions about the risks posed by chemical pesticides forced her into the role of controversial public figure. Using many of Miss Carson’s own words, actress Kaiulani Lee embodies this extraordinary woman in a documentary style film which depicts Carson in the final year of her life. Struggling with cancer, Carson recounts with both humor and anger the attacks by the chemical industry, the government and the press as she focuses her limited energy to get her message to Congress and the American people.
Beautifully shot in HD by Academy Award winning cinematographer, Haskell Wexler, at Carson’s cottage in Maine, the film is an intimate and poignant portrait of Carson’s life as she emerges as America’s most successful advocate for the natural world. Based on Kaiulani Lee’s popular play of the same name.
Run Time: 55 mins
