Thursday, August 29, 7pm
SECU Daily Planet Theater
Join us for a free screening in the NRC's 3-story SECU Daily Planet Theater for an intimate and poignant film about pioneering environmentalist and author Rachel Carson, most well known for "Silent Spring" published in 1962.
In this documentary-style film, writer and actress Kaiulani Lee embodies Rachel Carson using many of her own words, reflecting on attacks by the chemical industry, the government and the press as she focused her energy on her message to Congress and the American people. Following the film, Kaiulani Lee will answer audience questions in character.
 Kaiulani Lee has more than 35 years of experience in theater, film and television. She has starred in more than a dozen plays on and off Broadway - she has been
nominated for the Drama Desk Award on Broadway and has won the OBIE Award for outstanding achievement off Broadway.
This is the final event of the Museum's "Science from a Personal Perspective" series, which was funded by the NC Humanities Council and designed to highlight the convergence of science and humanities and to foster the desire for lifelong learning.
