This resource provides activities and tools to support students to discuss and analyse the themes of Silent Running (1972, PG), and apply normative ethics systems to plan a persuasive public relations campaign based on the predictions the film makes about the future of Earth. This resource was written in collaboration with Into Film by a Teach First Religious Studies teacher, for the BFI's Sci-Fi Days of Fear and Wonder blockbuster season.
We have developed a large catalogue of educational resources since launching in 2013, and some references and terminology will inevitably have dated as society and language evolves. We are aware of this and will be updating resources when our production schedule allows.
