Our youth initiative, Reverse the Trend: Save our Planet, Save our People, organized a wonderful film festival that provided the audience at the Scandinavian House in New York City the opportunity to watch excerpts of films The Vow from Hiroshima, In Our Hands, and Shades of Disarmament, to view the virtual reality experience On the Morning You Wake, and to listen to a panel of anti-nuclear activists and filmmakers. The panelists provided their views on the importance of art and film in particular to contribute to nuclear disarmament efforts, especially in light of the release of the blockbuster film Oppenheimer.
