Pleased to finally announce the North American release of our documentary, #NuclearNow, in theaters on April 28th. It took - off and on - nearly 3 years to pull together. This is a pressing global issue, and our goal was always to show it in as many countries as possible. ImageImageImage
I’m excited that the team at @abramorama is our domestic distributor on #NuclearNow, and @mediawanrights our international sales company; @giant_pictures is handling digital and streaming platforms; @rocofilms is handling educational sales. ImageImageImage
Additionally, @Participant, an avatar in producing films with a social and #environmental impact (#InconvenientTruth, #Citizenfour), has come onboard with @thinkfilmimpact to share the important message of #NuclearNow with audiences across the world. ImageImageImage
To dispel any disinformation reports about #NuclearNow, I want to make it clear that #nuclear is a major part in an array of solutions to #climatechange, not the sole solution. ImageImageImage
I’ve never claimed to be an expert (I’m a movie writer/director) but have closely adhered to the scientific facts in #ABrightFuture by @GoldsteinJoshua
& @QvistStaffan, & our visits to the #nuclear industries of #France & #Russia - along with @ENERGY's Idaho National Lab (@INL). ImageImageImage
It’s time to give #nuclearenergy another deep look -- before it’s too late.

Saturday, I sat through 3 hours of #Oppenheimer, gripped by Chris Nolan’s narrative. His screenplay is layered & fascinating. Familiar with the book by Kai Bird & Martin J. Sherwin, I once turned the project down because I couldn’t find my way to its essence. Nolan has found it. Image
His direction is mind-boggling & eye-popping as he takes reams of incident and cycles it into an exciting torrent of action inside all the talk. Each actor is a surprise to me, especially Cillian Murphy, whose exaggerated eyes here feel normal playing a genius like #Oppenheimer. Image
#Oppenheimer is a classic, which I never believed could be made in this climate. Bravo. Two historical points I’d argue. Historian Peter Kuznick and I, in our #UntoldHistoryoftheUnitedStates series (2012), made the important distinction that -- Image

(1/5) The enclosed, highly-respected @McKinsey report on #nuclear power from March 2023 surprised me, as it repeated many of our conclusions @GoldsteinJoshua and I reached in our #NuclearNow documentary.
(2/5) Though we started in 2019, and it seemed we were always behind the eight ball, it turns out the same systematic problem continues -- our misunderstanding of atomic energy. Until it is respected & understood, we’re handicapping ourselves in our battle for a civilized future.
(3/5) It’s extremely frustrating to those who’ve worked practically with this energy from Russia to China to the US to France. We need to wake up and realize that civilization is at stake.

(1/4) For those of you who believe what you read in the media, here is something to chew on: The reporter, #JacquesBaud, a retired Colonel in Swiss Intelligence who served in #Ukraine in #NATO training operations, is an impartial source. bit.ly/36cT8vg
(2/4) #USA, either out of arrogance or as tactic of war, does not wish its citizens to hear this kind of disturbing information, because they don’t respect the judgement of ordinary citizens to hear a realistic counternarrative. This has led to the #censorship we’re experiencing.
(3/4) Disconnect between us and #Russia is the most dangerous element in the world now. By rejecting any such info under the catch-all, guilt-denying misnomer of “Russian disinformation,” are we not allowing ourselves to be misled again, as in #Iraq, #Afghanistan, #Syria, etc.?

(1/4) Is it #Russia or the #UnitedStates that’s overreaching? I hoped, when I voted for him, that age could have made @POTUS wiser as a leader -- but flaws remain -- a Cold Warrior conditioned by the past, despising #Putin with insults and accusations that require diplomacy.
(2/4) Presidency under siege, @POTUS sticking to worn-out @HillaryClinton-neocon playbook of the new, hawkish Democratic party. Pushing #NATO and #sanctions to new levels of risk in order to maim Russia at practically any cost short of WWIII - though (god forbid) that may change.
(3/4) Please see this devastating deep-state analysis of the U.S. economy by @profwolff and #MichaelHudson. Wordy but worth it, it sticks with me as true to the present world. Very interested in your reactions. consortiumnews.com/2022/03/31/rea…

(1/5) Amid all the hysteria of Western media, screaming bloody murder at #Putin, omitting key facts when inconvenient, it’s most important to understand the full spectrum of what’s happening. With the help of the Internet, I’ve found some helpful and honest analyses. ImageImageImage
(2/5) Pearls and Irritations, a progressive Australian platform, was sent to me by Zach Sklar, my cowriter on #JFK. @tonykevin was an Australian senior diplomat who was posted to their Embassy in Moscow. Here, he gets right to the crux of the matter. bit.ly/3skj0h9
(3/5) Also from Zach is “Understanding Putin’s Narrative…” by Jonathan Steele of the British @guardian.
