Combining archival materials, quotes, and interviews with and footage of peace activists (such as Nobel Peace Prize Winner Mairead Corrigan Maguire, John Dear, Kathy Kelly, and PCUSA’s Executive Director Dave Robinson), this short DVD uses the annual Hiroshima Day events at Los Alamos laboratory in New Mexico to provide information about nuclear weapons and action suggestions.
