Hundreds of people watched Silent Snow for its first screening in Ridgefield, Connecticut USA. Thanks to Moki Kokoris and Joseph Consentino more screenings, also outside Ridgefield, will follow. Newstimes.com and the Hartford Courant interviewed Jan van den Berg for the screening of Silent Snow in the Ridgefield Playhouse Film Society last week.

This fall, it was exactly fifty years ago since marine biologist and conservationist Rachel Carson published the book ‘Silent Spring’, an unsettling insight in how our environment becomes increasingly polluted by the use of pesticides like DDT.

‘Blubber’. Echt aantrekkelijk klinkt het niet. Toch is blubber het neusje van de zalm - figuurlijk dan - van wat je een traditionele inwoner van Groenland kunt voorschotelen.

Help us spread the message of Silent Snow and wear this T-shirt as a sign of protest! These amazing Silent Snow eco-cotton T-shirts are now available in size S/M/L. 

A well meaning and instructive film. A melancholic reminder that environmental treaties only work if everyone complies: if they are spraying DDT somewhere, they are spraying it everywhere.

"Silent Snow" is more than a beautifully photographed travelogue. It's a call to arms in the battle to save our planet. John Padget and Jcob Gelt Dekker may seem unlikely warriors, but they are bringing this film to the Tropic to help spread the alert about the global effect of deadly pollutants..

On March 27, director Jan van den Berg was on VARA radioshow 'Vroege Vogels' (Early Birds) to promote Silent Snow.
