DESCRIPTION:Late in the 1950s\, Carson turned her attention to conservation
 \, especially some problems she believed were caused by synthetic pesticid
 es. The result was the book Silent Spring (1962)\, which brought environme
 ntal concerns to an unprecedented attention of the American people. Althou
 gh Silent Spring was met with fierce opposition by chemical companies\, it
  spurred a reversal in national pesticide policy\, which led to a nationwi
 de ban on DDT and other pesticides. It also inspired a grassroots environm
 ental movement that led to the creation of the U.S. Environmental Protecti
 on Agency (EPA). Carson was posthumously awarded the Presidential Medal of
  Freedom by President Jimmy Carter. This documentary is all about how that
  book came about and her life story\n\nAgenda: \n1930 Hours - START of Doc
