Third Thursdays at CEIE | Film - Earth Days 

Join us for EARTH DAYS and meet Robert Stone for a discussion at film's end.

Robert Stone’s documentary looks back to the dawn and development 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 and the subsequent firestorm of political action. Earth Days’ secret weapon is a one-two punch of personal testimony and rare archival media.

Robert Stone is a multi-award-winning, Oscar-nominated and Emmy-nominated documentary filmmaker. He gained considerable recognition for his first film, "Radio Bikini" (1987) which premiered at Sundance and was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Feature Documentary. From there, Mr. Stone has continued his success with critically acclaimed feature-documentaries about American history, pop-culture and the mass media. Other films by Robert Stone are "GUERRILLA: The Taking of Patty Hearst" (2004) and "OSWALD'S GHOST". "EARTH DAYS" premiered as the Closing Night Film at the 2009 Sundance Film Festival and was released theatrically by Zeigeist Films to wide critical acclaim. He continues to create personally crafted high-end documentary films from his home in the Hudson Valley of New York, where he lives with his wife Melissa and their two sons.
