The atomic bomb and meltdowns like Fukushima have made nuclear power synonymous with global disaster. But what if we've got nuclear power wrong? An audience favorite at the Sundance Film Festival, Pandora's Promise asks whether the one technology we fear most could save out pIanet from a cIimate catastrophe, while providing the energy needed to Iift biIlions of peopIe in the developing worId out of poverty. ln his controversial new film, Academy-Award-nominated director Robert Stone tells the intenseIy personal stories of environmentaIists and energy experts who have undergone a radical conversion from being fierceIy anti to strongIy pro-nucIear energy, risking heir careers and reputations in the process. Stone exposes this controversy within the environmental movement head-on with stories of defection by heavy weights including Stewart Brand, Richard Rhodes, Gwyneth Cravens, Mark Lynas and Michael SheIIenberger.
Undaunted and fearIessly independent, Pandora's Promise is a landmark work that is forever changing the conversation about the myths and science behind this deepIy emotionaI and polarizing issue. |
