WINNER: Gaia Prize for Environmental Filmmaking
Filmmaker Karen Akins’ darkly quirky personal quest to reduce noise pollution in her quaint Vermont village reveals serious nationwide consequences. From a village supporting “recreational shooting” to a fighter jet based in the state’s most populated area, the issues are many. As she consults experts including Ben Cohen of Ben and Jerry’s, Akins highlights noise pollution as a critical but neglected public health crisis.
