April 7 (Friday) - Film / Video
Friday Night at the Meaningful Movies presents: “NUCLEAR WINTER” and “THE EDGE OF HISTORY”
Films: NUCLEAR WINTER - "The World After Nuclear War" (30 min, Carl Sagan, 1984) AND, "THE EDGE OF HISTORY" (28 min, Ian Thiermann & Vivienne Verdon-Roe, 1984) The presentation will be two half-hour videos from 1984. The first is "NUCLEAR WINTER" from PBS with Carl Sagan, exposing the phenomenon of nuclear winter. Awareness of nuclear winter was partly responsible for the US and the USSR stepping back from MAD (Mutual Assured Destruction). It is an awareness that current policy makers and citizens should retain and refresh. Following this, "THE EDGE OF HISTORY" presents parts of the Stanford Symposium on nuclear disarmament, and puts a political perspective around the topic. The current US Administration wants to redesign and reconstitute the nuclear weapons. They want to change war doctrines to allow preemptive nuclear strikes in the form of "bunker buster" nukes, perhaps in Iran. In the shifting international framework of alliances, the nuclear arsenals of the US, Russia, China, the UK, France, Israel, Pakistan, and India still exist. Fifteen minutes of retargeting could put the US and Russia back under the policy of MAD. (Event is FREE! ..but Donations are kindly accepted). OPEN DISCUSSION FOLLOWS ...If you would like to be added to our emailing list, please drop us a note at wnfp@bridgings.org.  more...
