Congratulations to the Topanga Peace Alliance that celebrates 13 years and 146 Consecutive First Friday Film Nights on June 2 at the Topanga Library with Independent filmmaker Regis Tremblay’s 30 Seconds to Midnight—The Final Wake Up Call.
Tremblay states what few others dare to say: Humanity may be on the brink of extinction. Nuclear power is not safe; 48 of America’s nuclear power plants are leaking and there is no way to get rid of nuclear waste. America’s reckless provocations of Korea, Russia and China risk a nuclear holocaust from which no one survives. Climate change and global warming, if not mitigated immediately, will end the human experiment on earth sooner rather than later.
The film features Bill McKibben, Dr. Helen Caldicott, Chris Hedges, Ray McGovern, Ann Wright, Peter Kuznick, David Vine, Bruce Gagnon, Crimean citizens and other activists, scholars and authors explaining the crisis and threats to life on the planet. The filmmaker spent extensive time in Russia and can also talk about what he learned on the ground there.
A discussion with the filmmaker follows the film. He will present actions everyone can take that will help move the clock away from midnight. Come and be part of the conversation!
Bring a vegetarian snack and a non-alcoholic beverage to share for the pre-screening potluck (no alcohol) at 7:15 p.m. The film starts at 7:30 p.m.
