A famous writer of the oceans and seas embarks on writing the most important environmental books of the 20th century all while facing life changing times in the world premier of Rachel Carson by Steven Elliott Jackson.
In 1957, Rachel Carson had written some of the most beloved books about the sea and ocean life, but she would start the daunting challenge, writing “Silent Springs”, a book that would change the course of history becoming the most influential book on the environment. What people didn’t know were her struggles hidden from view, the adoption of her great nephew, her growing relationship with Dorothy Freeman and new dangers that would inevitably threaten everything.
