Suggested Dates for Screenings

Consider organizing your screening event on one of these historic dates:

  • July 16: Anniversary of the 1945 Trinity Test in New Mexico, the first-ever nuclear test.

  • August 6: Hiroshima bombing anniversary

  • August 9: Nagasaki bombing anniversary

  • September 26Nuclear Abolition Day (International Day for the Total Elimination of Nuclear Weapons). Established by the UN General Assembly.

  • October 24–30UN Disarmament Week. An annual, week-long observance to promote awareness and understanding of disarmament issues.


This is a blunt instrument. Designed to do exactly what we see. Scare the hell out of you. Get your attention. No sugarcoating. The length of the film is just right to make it an effective organizing tool.
