American Experience: Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring is a 1993 PBS documentary that examines the life and work of biologist Rachel Carson. Working for the federal government, Carson discovered the harmful effects of widespread pesticide and herbicide use, particularly DDT. When major magazines refused to publish her findings due to advertising concerns, she decided to write Silent Spring, published in 1963. The book exposed the chemical industry’s practices and sparked fierce backlash from those who dismissed her as hysterical, yet her work ultimately transformed environmental policy and awakened public ecological awareness.

This single-disc DVD runs 55 minutes and is unrated. Narrated by Alex Chadwick with Bill Nighy in the cast, the program was produced by WGBH Boston and written by Neil Goodwin. Own this important documentary about a scientist who changed the world on physical media.
