Director Robert Stone (“Oswald’s Ghost,“ “Guerrilla: The Taking of Patty
Hearst”) traces the origins of the modern environmental movement
through the eyes of nine Americans who propelled the movement from its
beginnings in the 1950s to its moment of triumph in 1970 with the
original Earth Day and to its status as a major political force in
America. Go to the homepage for this program. Airs April 19 on most PBS stations.
