Event
EARTH DAYS with filmaker Robert Stone
Wednesday, April 14 at 7:30pmMembers $9 / Public $13 / No Refunds Plus free wine tasting courtesy Laurel Lake Vineyards Entertaining and awe-inspiring, Earth Days looks back to the dawn of the environmental movement from its post-war rustlings in the 1950s to the first wildly successful 1970 Earth Day celebration and the subsequent firestorm of political action. The extraordinary stories of the era's pioneers among them Former Secretary of the Interior Stewart Udall; biologist/Population Bomb author Paul Ehrlich; Whole Earth Catalog founder Stewart Brand; Apollo Nine astronaut Rusty Schweickart; and renewable energy pioneer Hunter Lovins' are beautifully illustrated with an incredible array of footage from candy-colored Eisenhower-era tableaux to classic tear-jerking 1970s anti-litterbug PSAs. Directed by acclaimed documentarian Robert Stone (Guerrilla: The Taking of Patty Hearst) Earth Days is both a poetic meditation on humanity's complex relationship with nature and an engaging history of the revolutionary achievements and missed opportunities of groundbreaking eco-activism. USA, 2009, 102 min.In Person: Filmmaker Robert Stone
