After playing to great acclaim at the 2009 Sundance Film Festival, this visually stunning documentary is coming to Seattle. It may be hard to remember now in the Age of Al Gore and Obama, but once upon a time, everyone was not “going Green.” EARTH DAYS looks back to the dawn of the modern environmental movement -- from its post-war rustlings in the 1950s and the 1962 publication of Rachel Carson's incendiary bestseller Silent Spring, to the first wildly successful 1970 Earth Day celebration.
