Films that Matter Series: Rachel Carson: Sense of Wonder

This movie is a must see for every environmentalist. Rachael Carson was an extraordinary woman who loved the natural world and fought to defend it. She was the author of "Silent Spring," which set off a national debate on the effects of pesticides. Kaiulani Lee embodies Rachael Carson in this documentary style film, which depicts Carson in the final year of her life as she is thrust into the center of a political maelstrom. Struggling with cancer, Carson accounts with both humor and anger the attacks of the chemical industry, the government, and the press as she focuses her energy to get her message to Congress and to the American people.
