Featuring the voice of Mary-Louise Parker as the influential writer and
scientist,*Rachel Carson*is an intimate portrait of the woman whose
groundbreaking books revolutionized our relationship to the natural
world. When/Silent Spring/was published in September 1962 it became an
instant bestseller and would go on to spark dramatic changes in the way
the government regulated pesticides. Drawn from Carson’s own writings,
letters and recent scholarship, the film illuminates both the public and
private life of the soft-spoken, shy scientist who launched the modern
environmental movement.
thank you.
