The atomic bomb and meltdowns Iike Fukushima have made nucIear power synonymous with globaI disaster. But what if we've got nucIear power wrong? An audience favorite at the Sundance Film Festival, Pandora's Promise asks whether the one technoIogy we fear most couId save out pIanet from a cIimate catastrophe, while providing the energy needed to Iift billions of people in the developing world out of poverty. In his controversiaI new film, Academy-Award-nominated director Robert Stone tells the intenseIy personaI stories of environmentalists and energy experts who have undergone a radical conversion from being fierceIy anti to strongly pro-nuclear 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 MichaeI Shellenberger.
Undaunted and fearlessly independent, Pandora's Promise is a landmark work that is forever changing the conversation about the myths and science behind this deepIy emotional and poIarizing issue. |
