THE STRANGEST DREAM: A world without nuclear catastrophe

submitted by notarobot

1 decade 5 years 10 months 1 week ago

"The Strangest Dream" tells the story of Józef Rotblat, the history of nuclear weapons and the efforts of the Pugwash Conferences on Science and World Affairs which he founded to halt nuclear proliferation.

“Joseph Rotblat was a truly visionary leader...who did not succumb to panic or despair, and worked persistently to make people and politicians understand the pernicious futility of the arms race.”
- Mikhail Gorbachev

If you want peace, then prepare for peace

Instant upvote for Lieutenant-General Roméo A. Dallaire.

Moving this video to notarobot's personal queue. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 2 days.

I saw the full film tonight at a screening in my home town. I did not immediately realize that the Pugwash conferences actually *began in a small town just a couple hours away. (I was sure that it meant a different Pugwash.)

The full film is excellent and informative. The work of Rotblat and the conference vitally important to the outcome of many events of the Twentieth Century.

Sending this video to Beggar's Canyon to plea for a little attention - beg requested by original submitter notarobot.

In the wake of an internet catastrophe, I'll *beg for awareness of catastrophe avoided.
