Amazingly, nuclear power is now the cry from many climate change warriors!
In a remarkable about-turn, climate change warriors and environmentalists are becoming pro-nuclear. They believe that with the surge in demand from the developing world, nuclear energy is our planet’s ‘cleanest’ option, but with Fukushima still spewing radiated waste, the arguments against it remain potent.

PROGRAMME
Six documentaries from different points of view; four international directors in discussion; a one-time chance to be informed, take part and focus on this key issue for the future of our planet. Our extensive programme includes Oscar-nominated director and former anti-nuclear campaigner Robert Stone’s controversial PANDORA’S PROMISE, which meets the energy experts who have undergone the most radical of conversions. In addition we will have films looking at disasters such as Fukushima and Chernobyl, and a very special sneak preview of a brand new documentary on potential nuclear answers.
We end the day with a panel discussion on the past, present and future of nuclear, featuring Robert Stone (dir. Pandora’s Promise), Esther Hoffenberg (dir. Welcome to Nuclear Land), Frankie Fenton (dir. The Good Reactor) and Paul Johannessen (dir. Women of Fukushima).
