Last Best Chance is a docudrama that shows the threat posed by vulnerable nuclear weapons and materials around the world and underscores what the stakes are. The film stars Fred Thompson and features an epilogue moderated by Tom Brokaw.
Last Best Chance was produced with support from the Nuclear Threat Initiative, with additional funding from the Carnegie Corporation of New York and the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation
"Last Best Chance can increase awareness of the global nuclear terrorism threat. The war on terrorism will not be won until every nuclear stockpile, wherever it may be in the world, is secured and accounted for to stringent and transparent standards," said the Republican Senator Richard Lugar of Indiana.
Upcoming films include "Iraq for Sale," to be screened Monday, Aug. 27.
An inside look at the lives of soldiers, truck drivers, widows and children who have been changed forever as a result of profiteering in the reconstruction of Iraq.
Iraq for Sale uncovers the connections between private corporations making a killing in Iraq and the decision makers who allow them to do so.
"Iron-jawed Angels" will be screened, Monday Sept. 24. This film recounts a key chapter in U.S. history: the struggle of suffragists who fought for the passage of the 19th Amendment.
