Synopsis

Visually stunning and vastly entertaining, Earth Days looks back to the dawn and development of the modern environmental movement from its post-war rustlings in the 1950s to the first wildly successful 1970 Earth Day celebration and the subsequent firestorm of political action. 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.

Followed by Friends of the Earth panel discussion - 'Turning points for a just and sustainable future' and SPEECHLESS book launch.

"Speechless is a witty, passionate cartoon history of the world that gets closer to the truth than most of the written ones"
Rob Newman
