The documentary The "Silent Spring" of Rachel Carson, produced by CBS Reports in 1963, captures the mood of the times when the book first appeared.

In 1993, PBS produced and presented Rachel Carson's "Silent Spring" as part of its "American Experience" series. The film features interviews with several of the writer's colleagues and critics.

Durkin Hayes published an abridged version of Silent Spring on audiocassette in 1993. The text is read by actress Ellen Burstyn.
