Scary Movies and serious conversations

This is a series of movies - documentaries, historical, and some fiction - that explore and explain the origins of nuclear weapons, their development and proliferation, and the current state of affairs regarding the nuclear arsenals of the world.   Recent events have significantly increased the existential threat posed by nuclear weapons in our world today, and at the same time, there is a significant lack of comprehension among the people of all nations, about just how severe the dangers have become. 
We are trying to provide access to pertinent information through this series of public showings of these movies, and the discussions that follow each one, to our fellow citizens in our little corner of the world, so that we may begin to join together in positive group action, to speak out to our representatives in Congress, and each other.   We must try to reduce the threat of nuclear holocaust, and to do that we must convince our Senators and Congresspeople to take action, such as cosponsoring and supporting the Restricting the First Use of Nuclear Weapons Act 2017,  S.200 and HR. 669.  This just one of many steps we need to take to reduce the danger of nuclear war.

Countdown to Zero, the October movie was previously shown at the Anacortes Library in September.  It was produced by Global Zero, one of the organizations linked on our links page.  More information can be found there about their work, and all the organizations on that page are doing great work in this cause, each in their own way.  I encourage you to check them out, and get involved with the ones that most appeal to you.  Thank you
