DESCRIPTION:Since August is the month – every year – that marks the dropping of the 
 first atomic bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Peace Action of San Mateo 
 County will present our own free screening of a new documentary film, 
 “The Forgotten Bomb”.\nThis 94-minute film, by Stuart Overbey and Bud 
 Ryan (who also narrates and conducts interviews throughout), examines the 
 political and legal implications of nuclear weapons, but also digs deeper, 
 into the cultural and psychological reasons behind the arsenal's existence. 
 Ryan’s quest takes us from the homes of hibakusha (A-bomb survivors) in 
 Japan, to an abandoned Uranium mine in New Mexico, to an underground Titan 
 missile silo in Arizona. From these places, and many others, Ryan puts 
 together the pieces of a puzzle that explain why we have the bomb, and how 
 we might finally do away with it.\nThrough interviews with atomic 
 scientists, politicians, authors, statesmen, and atomic bomb survivors, 
 “The Forgotten Bomb” examines what The Bomb means to us all, and why we 
 need to think about it again, now, even though the Cold War is long 
 over.\nCopies of the DVD will be on sale for those who want to share it 
 with others.\nFor more information email smpa@sanmateopeaceaction.org.\n
