THE QUIETEST YEAR, 74min., USA
Directed by Karen Akins
Filmmaker Karen Akins’ darkly quirky personal quest to curb noise pollution in her quaint Vermont village uncovers dire consequences for noise regulation not only in her home state but nationwide. From a libertarian-controlled village, upholding a rural neighbor’s right to “recreational shooting,” to the basing of an ear-piercing fighter jet in the most densely populated area of the state, the examples are unending. As she consults leading experts and activists, including Ben Cohen of Ben and Jerry’s, Akins marshals the facts to frame noise pollution as an urgent yet overlooked crisis for both public health and civil society.
