The Beginning of the End of Nuclear Weapons

2019-06-07T17:20:06.928Z

On the 7th of July 2017, 122 countries voted in favour of the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons.

Beatrice Fihn really does sum it up best in the film when she says, “The ability to kill massive amounts of people and inflict suffering and pain on civilians is not a sign of power and prestige. It’s what dictators do, it’s what human rights violators do, not respectable countries that want to have a good standing in the international community. And now it’s their turn to be on the outside.”

The film will be eventually available to the general public on YouTube, but for now any activists who want to organize a presentation of the film can do so by contacting the author and Pressenza co-director, Tony Robinson at tony.robinson@pressenza.com.

If you missed his talk in Tulsa, you can still learn about the witness he provides in this video (in Japanese, with English subtitles): A story of atomic bomb survivor, Yasuaki Yamashita, who emigrated from his native Japan to Mexico in the 1960s in search of a new horizon and new life. He's now a peace ambassador to the world.

What Happened to the Nuclear Test Sites?

2018-05-11T18:29:38.043Z

Nuclear bomb tests ended over 20 years ago but the legacy of the test areas still remains and will do for hundreds or thousands of years.
The IPPNW (International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War) estimate that by the year 2000 some 430,000 cancers were caused by atmospheric (above ground) nuclear bombs tests, from 1951 to 1962. (The Partial Test Ban Treaty of 1963 put a stop to above ground tests, fortunately.) Eventually, as many as 2.4 million deaths worldwide can be attributed to the nuclear fallout from atmospheric atomic blasts, according the IPPNW. It was a truly crazy time. Is the human species mad?
