Sundance Honor for Film of Early Save-the-Earth Activists. By Jacqueline Mroz, NYTimes, February 13, 2009. "Robert Stone... has made Earth Days, a film about the start of the environmental movement in this country. It was recently given the honor of being chosen as the closing film at the Sundance Film Festival... Mr. Stone said he wanted to tell the story of how America awakened to the environmental crisis. The first Earth Day, on April 22, 1970, is considered by many to be the start of the environmental movement in the United States, and it galvanized ordinary people to get involved in saving the environment. He tells the story through the lives of nine people who made a major contribution to the environmental movement... Mr. Stone is known for his skill in using archival footage."
