DESCRIPTION:Documentary Film & Discussion\n\nOn the 7th of July 2017, 122 countries 
 voted in favor of the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons. 
 Countries without nuclear weapons, yet live under their threat voted for 
 the ban. Unbeknownst to most of their citizens, the governments of the 
 world’s nuclear powers did not vote. The ban went ahead anyway. Something 
 new is happening.\n\nIn 56 minutes, The Beginning of the End of Nuclear 
 Weapons takes the viewer through a brief history of the bomb and the 
 anti-nuclear activism that has pushed to eliminate them since their 
 invention.\n\nVoices of leading activists from different organizations 
 around the world offer insights about the efforts to bring a nuclear weapon 
 ban treaty into international law and the role of the International 
 Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons, ICAN. Lastly, the film shows what can 
 be done by anyone to help bring the treaty into force and to stigmatize 
 nuclear weapons until they are completely eradicated.\n\nJoyce Vandevere, a 
 long-time leader of Women's International League for Peace and Freedom, 
 Monterey County Branch, will introduce this documentary. Dr. Sharat G. Lin, 
 research fellow with the San Jose Peace and Justice Center, will speak 
 after the film.\n\nThis event is part of a series of free August events to 
 commemorate the 75th Anniversary of the first nuclear weapons unleashed 
 against humanity in 1945.\n\nFor all the free livestream events in this
