- Summary:
- "Stewart Lee Udall was the most prominent and effective Secretary of the Interior in American history. Stewart Udall: The Politics of Beauty is a feature documentary that examines the trajectory of Udall's life from his childhood through his Mormon mission, his World War II service, his student years at the University of Arizona, his time in Congress, and then, most significantly, his years as Secretary of the Interior and beyond. The film introduces us to the birth pangs of modern environmental politics, to figures like Aldo Leopold, Rachel Carson, David Brower, and John Saylor. We see how Udall's ideas evolved, best illustrated in his conversion from a pro-power dam Arizona representative to the Interior Secretary who dealt the death blow to proposed Grand Canyon dams. We examine his long fight to win compensation for Navajo Indians and "downwinders" who got cancer from their exposure to radiation during the Cold War. Udall called on all Americans to move away from our emphasis on economic growth and consumerism, toward quality of life, and a new politics centered on beauty, modest living, appreciation of nature and the arts, and a recognition of Earth's limits." -- Provided by Publisher.
