DESCRIPTION:\nFilm evenings begin with potluck refreshments & social hour at  6:30 
 pm,\nfollowed by the film at  7:30 pm, followed by a discussion after the 
 film.\n\nIN MY LIFETIME\nby Robert Frye\n\nHere is a wakeup call for 
 humanity:  a call to develop an understanding of the realities of the 
 nuclear weapon;  to explore ways of presenting the answers for “a way 
 beyond;” and to facilitate a dialogue moving towards resolution of this 
 Gordian knot of nuclear weapons gripping the world.  The documentary’s 
 characters are its narrative voices, interwoven with highly visual 
 sequences of archival and contemporary footage and animation.  The story is 
 a morality play, telling the struggle waged over the past six and half 
 decades with the last act yet to be determined, of trying to find what is 
 “the way beyond.”  The film takes on the complex realities of the 
 nuclear world and searches internationally for an answer to the question:  
 Is there a Way Beyond?  The documentary is part wake up call, part 
 challenge for people to engage with the issue of ridding the world of the 
 most destructive weapon ever invented.\n\nThere has been a re-emergence of 
 the realization that a world with nuclear weapons, including a 
 proliferation of fissile nuclear materials, is a very dangerous place.  Of 
 course this realization has been known since the creation of the atomic 
 bomb.  It continues to be a struggle which has not been resolved.  This is 
 a very complex issue with many voices, speaking from many perspectives, 
 representing the forces and entrenched institutions in the nuclear states, 
 not to speak of the rest of the world’s nations, some of them with 
 nuclear power capable of producing their own fissile materials, and now 
 there is the danger of so called “non-state actors,” who want to get 
 their hands on the nuclear fissile materials necessary to create nuclear 
 weapons.  Today the materials and technology to make nuclear weapons are 
 more readily available than any government who possesses them would like us 
 to believe.  Since Fukushima, there is a new emergence of the debate as to 
 what has to change and what steps need to be taken to move away from 
 nuclear weapons.  Over the past year there definitely has been movement 
 towards dealing with the reality, as this film project 
 reports.\n\nWheelchair accessible around the corner at  411  28th  
 Street\n\n$5 donations are accepted\n\n
