White Light, Black Rain: The Destruction of Hiroshima and Nagasaki
On August 6th and 9th, 1945, two atomic bombs vaporized 210,000 people in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Those who survived are called "hibakusha"--people exposed to the bomb--and there are an estimated 200,000 living today. Today, with the threat of nuclear weapons of mass destruction frighteningly real- the world's arsenal capable of repeating the destruction at Hiroshima 400,000 times over, Oscar® award-winning filmmaker Steven Okazaki revisits the bombings and shares the stories of the only people to have survived a nuclear attack. http://www.hbo.com/docs/programs/whitelightblackrain/

A Space 4 Peace
A documentary about the Bush administration's revival of the old "Star Wars" program and the growing movement of protest and resistance. The film features Helen Caldicott the Australian anti-nuclear activivist, Loring Wirbel the author of Star Wars, US Tools of Space Supremacy and Phil Coyle former Assistant Secretary of Defense.

The video examines the evolution of space-based technology, and the way it is now used in a variety of settings including intelligence operations and on-the- ground military campaigns. The film is a introduction to the real aims and capabilities of US space technology and the missile defence program. The young filmaker, Daniel Reilly, made the film with a personal touch and designed it to appeal to younger people and those new to the peace movemet.

It features protestors at Vandenberg Air Force Base and Space Command in southern California where the "Star Wars" interceptors are scheduled to be deployed before the November elections. This program of staggering expense in getting very little atttention in the media, which is why the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom (WILPF) and The Global Network cooperated in production of this video and we hope for rapid and widespread dissemination.

Building Bombs: The Legacy
http://www.videoproject.org/building_bombs.html
Produced by Mark Mori and Susan Robinson
45 Min. *
ACADEMY AWARD NOMINATION

In the largest construction project ever, the U.S. government condemned 6 towns and cleared 300 square miles in South Carolina to build the Savannah River Plant (SRP), so it could manufacture plutonium and tritium for nuclear bombs. This updated version of BUILDING BOMBS is a rich, personal look at the social and environmental impact of the plant, and the complex choices it has forced some workers and nearby residents to make. Personal stories are mixed with filmed evidence of decades of environmental disregard: cardboard boxes labelled "radioactive waste" were dumped into dirt trenches and radioactive turtles wandered offsite. Energy Department and SRP officials defend the plant's record and its importance to the region. As other nuclear weapons facilities are closed, the Savannah River Plant, now operated by Westinghouse, is becoming the cornerstone of a revamped nuclear complex, despite its unsafe record.

Deadly Deception: General Electric, Nuclear Weapons, and OurEnvironment
http://www.womedia.org/our/deception.html
Winner of the 1991 Academy Award for Best Documentary Short Subject.

Most people hold national governments accountable for the nuclear effects. But what about the corporations that influence and profit from the nuclear arms race? DEADLY DECEPTION juxtaposes General Electric's rosy "We Brings Good Things to Life" commercials with the true stories of those whose lives have been devastated by GE's involvement in testing and making nuclear weapons.
It reveals what GE has never wanted its customers to know, and offers hope in the story of a successful campaign that was waged in the early 1990s to change the deadliest industry of all. DEADLY DECEPTION was produced for the corporate accountability organization INFACT. Nine months after this film won an Oscar, GE pulled out of its work in the nuclear weapons industry, and INFACT, organizers of the GE boycott, declared victory in their grassroots campaign.

Downwind: Depleted Uranium Weapons in the Age of Virtual War
Downwind draws a line from Hiroshima through the Nevada nuclear test site to the sands of Iraq and Kuwait, where
thousands of soldiers and civilians were exposed to toxic, irradiating dust particles by the use of depleted Uranium tank
penetrators.

Used extensively in the 1991 Gulf War, in Bosnia, and in Kosovo, these DU weapons have already been sent to Afghanistan.
There is little indication that the U.S. military has warned soldiers and civilians about the possible adverse health and
environmental effects.

Downwind raises questions about the true human cost when the desire for total victory outweighs the moral obligations of
humanitarian intervention.

Eliminating Nuclear Weapons

During the Cold War we were bombarded with images of the Soviet threat. We were told that we needed tens of thousands of nuclear arms for our own security. That without maintaining these weapons of unparalleled lethality, we could fall prey to a Soviet attack. That New York City could be the next Hiroshima. Now that the Cold War is over, what do we do with the thousands of nuclear weapons which remain? Some people suggest eliminating them from the planet.

These films document the history of the development of nuclear weapons, starting with the first bomb tested at Trinity Site in southeastern New Mexico in July 1945. This is the first time the films have ever been edited for declassification and public release. (Portions of some of these films were previously released.)

As President Clinton pointed out during the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty debate, arms control measures not only provide security, they also save enormous amounts of money. In the aftermath of the debate's ultimate Congressional rejection of the treaty, there are several promising new approaches to arms control that are practical and provide real safety from nuclear disasters. They save billions of dollars by reducing nuclear arsenals and in turn, the likelihood of a new arms race with with the world's nuclear nations can be reduced.

Throughout America's Cold War nuclear arms race with the Soviet Union, a massive scientific and industrial complex operated virtually without pause to produce a growing and ever-more sophisticated nuclear arsenal. The architects of US nuclear weapons policy planned for every contingency but one -- that the Soviet threat might disappear and the Cold War end.
Now with the Cold War over and with plans to reduce the size of the U.S. nuclear arsenal, what is the future of America's nuclear weapons complex? And, what does the future hold for nuclearweapons?

For the past fifty years, the United States government has produced hundreds of thousands of cubic meters of nuclear waste. With the Cold War over, it is time to begin the process of disposing this military nuclear mess. The Department of Energy has created an underground disposal facility called the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant to permanently store military generated waste which contains, among other deadly toxins, plutonium. However, whether this facility will safely store the nuclear material for the 24,000 years dictated by the half-life of plutonium, is greatly debated. Is WIPP the answer to our nuclear disposal problem, or is it simply a way to bury it out of sight and out of mind?

In November 1994, when U.S. voters made it clear that they would no longer tolerate politics as usual and the continued mismanagement of taxpayer dollars, Congress responded by putting domestic programs and federal agencies on the chopping block. Targeted programs included health care for the poor and elderly, food stamps, and environmental programs.
But while a majority in Congress were quick to find ways to cut domestic programs, when it came to military spending, it was business as usual. Weapons originally designed to fight the former Soviet Union were given the thumbs-up even though the combined cost of these weapons could end up at $900 billion.

In the 1950s Edward Teller, the co-inventor of the H-bomb proposed using "the great and violent power" of the atom bomb for peaceful purposes. NUCLEAR DYNAMITE explores the Soviet-American race to develop nuclear explosives for gigantic megaprojects. cientists planned to harness the power of the bomb to launch huge spaceships, dig an instant harbor in Alaska, blast out oil and gas deposits, cut through mountain ranges, and dig a new Panama canal with 300 explosions. More than 150 nuclear blasts were carried out between 1958 and 1988 before this bizarre and extraordinary atomic dream was destroyed by the emergence of the environmental movements in both countries.

‹ Test Anxiety: Should America Ratify the Test Ban Treaty?
Center for Defense Information http://www.cdi.org/adm/allshows.html

In May of 1998, India shocked the world with a nuclear blast. Pakistan, it’s neighbor, responded days later with its own nuclear test. This new arms race has put pressure on the U.S. Senate to ratify the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty (CTBT) that was signed by President Clinton in 1996. However, a powerful minority in the Senate is stalling the ratification of this important treaty in order to undermine the existing Anti-ballistic Missile Treaty because the ABM is an obstacle to the development of the controversial Ballistic Missile Defense Program, also known as "Star Wars." Both a majority of senators and the public support the ratification of the CTBT.

‹ U.S. Responses to Ballistic Missile Proliferation
Center for Defense Information http://www.cdi.org/adm/allshows.html

Seven years after the end of the Cold War, the threat of an attack against U.S. territory has greatly diminished. But some argue that America still needs a National Missile Defense capability to address new and emerging threats. It seems that the proponents of missile defense advocate a costly, risky technological solution to a political problem over the more promising defense of comprehensive non-proliferation measures through cooperative security arrangements. Reducing threats offers far more security at less cost than does the pursuit of dubious defenses against missile attack.
