The Darkening Day
Film historian Jennifer Peterson analyzes a set of six films about air pollution and the environment. The 1960s were a turning point in the expansion of popular awareness about environmental problems. These six titles, made between 1960-1972, show the emergence of modern environmentalist discourses. All frame pollution as a problem caused by human industry. But in the films made later in the decade, a broader critique of post-World War II consumerism and waste emerges. Co-produced by the U.S. Public Health Service and a range of commercial and nonprofit institutions, the films reflect an era in which the government took a leading role in educating the public about environmental health threats.
