Rachel Carson plot

When Rachel Carson's 'Silent Spring' was published in the US in 1962, the book became a phenomenon. It was a passionate and eloquent warning about the long-term dangers of pesticides. But it would also inspire President John F. Kennedy to launch the first study on the public health effects of pesticides — an investigation that would eventually result in new laws on these deadly agents. This documentary is an intimate portrait of the woman whose groundbreaking books revolutionized our relationship with the natural world. Based on Carson's own writings, letters and recent scholarship, this film illuminates both the public and private lives of the woman who launched the modern environmental movement and revolutionized the way we understand our relationship with the natural world.
