“Command and Control”  is a minute-by-minute account of a near catastrophic nuclear explosion at a Titan II missile complex.  The movie was directed by Robert Kenner (Food, Inc.) and based on the critically acclaimed book by Eric Schlosser (Fast Food Nation). Recently declassified documents provide a cautionary tale of freak accidents, near misses, human fallibility and extraordinary heroism.  “Command and Control” forces viewers to confront the great dilemma that the U.S. has faced since the dawn of the nuclear age:   “how do you manage weapons of mass destruction without being destroyed by them?”

Following the film we will hold a discussion and hear from our guests:  Mary Hanson, who is affiliated with both Ground Zero Center for Nonviolent Action and with Washington Physicians for Social Responsibility (WPSR), and Lilly Adams, who is the Security Program Organizer at WPSR.

Doors open at 6:30 for conversation and refreshments,  film begins at 7:00.  This screening is free and open to the public, but donations are gladly accepted.
