SUMMARY:In Remembrance of Hiroshima and Nagasaki 1945
DESCRIPTION:\nDiscussion and screening of the short movie: “An Ordinary Insanity”.\nRefreshments and Peace Crane Project.\nDiscussion led by Marion Ronan (Brooklyn for Peace), Vera Anderson (Nevada Desert Experience), and John Breitbart (NYC War Resistance League)\nWhen: Sunday, August 9 at 4PM\nWhere: In-Person (RSVP HERE FOR IN-PERSON ( https://www.eventbrite.com/e/in-remembrance-of-hiroshima-and-nagasaki-1945-tickets-1993757328841 )) at 269 4th Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11215\n&  Zoom* (RSVP HERE FOR VIRTUAL)\n*must RSVP above to receive link\n\n\nBefore releasing the top-secret Pentagon Papers during the Vietnam War, Ellsberg served as a nuclear war planner with access to extensive classified information on U.S. nuclear strategy.\nFilmed by Oscar-nominated director Judith Ehrlich a year before his death at age 92, Ellsberg speaks with clarity and urgency about the dangers we face: “A threat and a readiness and a preparation and a rehearsal of causing nuclear winter and destroying most large life on Earth, that is insane. You have to call it a kind of ‘ordinary insanity’ because it’s so widely shared.”\nWith ongoing conflicts heightening global nuclear tensions, and the recent end of the New START treaty raising concerns about a renewed arms race, An Ordinary Insanity arrives at a critical moment. The film will help to awaken broader public concern and action for arms control and nuclear disarmament agreements.\nAN ORDINARY INSANITY was selected for screening at six international film festivals, winning Best Short Documentary at the Sydney World Film Festival. The film premiered at the United Nations Association Film Festival, where it was praised as a “film that will shock you and inspire hope.”\n \n
