BEST 2017 FILMS, SCIENCE BOOKS AND FILMS"An amazing collection of interviews...Very compelling information at a time when we once again find ourselves facing this menace in our lifetime...Great job building interest and tension right from the opening sequence."
— The Aurora Awards"Extraordinary and extraordinarily well produced. The opening several minutes is as effective and chilling as I've seen in any doc. Thank you for shedding light on such darkness."
— Greg Dobbs, Denver Post Columnist and former foreign correspondent ABC News“Intriguing and compelling... highlights the terror and hope nuclear weapons invoke. Historical images and the voices of those struggling to stop the bomb blend with views of politicians snared in conflict and yet striving for control. Viewing this powerful film you will feel a part of the ongoing crusade to end nuclear terror.”
— William Lanouette, Author, Genius in the Shadows: A Biography of Leo Szilard"
EDITOR'S CHOICE. It is a ninety-minute montage of interviews, meetings, and speeches about the environmental, moral social, and economic consequences of unmanaged nuclear technology, all mixed with photos, video clips, and backed throughout by Alain Kremski's piano. Listen, look, reflect, and learn...The film outlines premises in an effective argument for managing if not eliminating nuclear proliferation."
— Science Books and Films"A captivating, up-to-date documentary on the realities of living in a nuclear world, the challenges of moving beyond nuclear weapons, and the hard work needed to invest in arms control and nonproliferation."
— Tony Fleming, Arms Control Association“A thoughtful film exploring the contours of our Nuclear Age. While the dangers of this age are clearly on display, [the film] also brought a measure of hope and reason.”
— Kelly DeVine, Artistic Director, Global Peace Film Festival"A reminder of the importance of maintaining nuclear vigilance. Interviewed diplomats speak out about the dangers of escalating these arms, and outspoken advocates encourage putting limits on nuclear weapons. Footage of U.S. President Obama’s historic visit to Hiroshima and his subsequent thoughtful comments on the continuing threats of nuclear attack are quite moving."
— Booklist (ALA)"Recommended. Production standards are very high. Sees hope in the future....."— Educational Media Reviews Online
