| Earth Days - Environmental Movement Film | 24 February 09 |
 Robert Stone's Earth Days, a reflective film about North America awakened to the environmental crisis was honored as the closing night movie at the 2009 Sundance Film Festival held in Utah.Earth Days tells the story of the environmental movement through the lives and contributions of nine pioneering environmentalists. Stone recounts the impact of Rachel Carson's 1962 bestseller "Silent Spring" among others. "So many of the films and books I've seen and read about the environment have been about looking forward; where we'll be in five or 10 years from now," Mr. Stone said. "But it occurred to me that by looking back to where we've come from, what we've learned could be very informative in where we are going and how we move forward." Earth Days will be released in theaters on Earth Day, April 22 and will air on PBS in April 2010 to commemorate the 40th anniversary of Earth Day.
