{"product_id":"9780981973104","title":"The Silent Spring Of Rachel Carson","description":"Paul Portugés is one of the best writers I have ever had the pleasure to work with, and his Rachel Carson story is the best work I've seen in a long, long time. \u003cp\u003eBill Benenson, producer\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Silent Spring of Rachel Carson is an important, passionate story that needed to be told and hopefully never forgotten. It is a fascinating, moving story, masterly written, about one of the great heroines of the 20th century.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCheryl DuBois, producer, novelist\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMr. Portugés and I have worked on several projects together - including one about the Sandinistas, another about racism against Latinos. His scripts are always politically and socially important, a celebration of the human spirit struggling against ignorance and injustice, deeply moving, fascinating stories that should be seen by all.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEdward James Olmos, actor, producer, director\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Silent Spring of Rachel Carson is intelligent, compassionate, and entertaining--something you have a hard time saying about most scripts these days. And a rare chance for a meaningful performance by someone like Meryl Streep or Susan Saradon, not to mention a good kick in the pants to the men(!) who tried to stop Rachel Carson, that little old lady from Maine. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJ.F.
