Special showing of "Earth Days" with Filmmaker/Director Robert Stone

Thursday, November 12, 2009

Robert Stone will be at Bard to host a special viewing of "Earth Days: the Seeds of a Revolution", a documentary about the progression of the Modern Environmental Movement. Bard CEP is honored and excited to have Stone host this event. All are welcome to attend. For more information on this film, please visit http://www.earthdaysmovie.com/. We hope to see you there!



"Earth Days" reveals personal testimonies of rare archival media from extraordinary pioneers such as former Secretary of the Interior Stewart Udall; Biologist and author Paul Elrich; Apollo Nine astronaut Rusty Schweickart; and sustainability expert Hunter Lovins. "Earth Days" is poetic mediation on humanities complex relationship with the natural world. It depicts an appealing history of the revolutionary achievements as well as missed opportunities in eco-activism.

Robert Stone is a multiple-award-winning documentary filmmaker. Stone graduated with a degree in History from the University of Wisconsin, Madison. Stone’s desire to be a filmmaker started once he moved to New York City in 1983. Over the last 20 years, Stone has developed a steady reputation, internationally, with accredited and unique documentary films about American History, pop culture, and mass media.
