EARTH DAYS’ secret weapon is a one-two punch of personal testimony and rare archival media. 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. Directed by acclaimed documentarian Robert Stone, 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. Post-film events: Robert Stone will discuss the film at the Friday, March 19 show; local environmental activists will speak at the Tuesday, March 23, show. Sponsored by Hunger Mountain Co-op. Community Partner: Vermont Natural Resources Council. 100 minutes. Film website
