This 72-minute documentary, tells the stories of populations in Kazakhstan and the United States who continue to suffer from the trans-generational impact of nuclear tests, conducted by the Cold War super powers, and the successful struggles of these peoples to end nuclear tests in their countries.
The film serves as a timely reminder of lessons learned about the impact of nuclear weapons; lessons that warrant renewed attention in light of the current state of world affairs where the threat of nuclear weapons use - by accident, miscalculation or intent - has returned.
After the movie, a panel discussion will be held together with Minister-counsellors Gaukhar Beiseyeva and Meruyert Saudabay from the Embassy of the Republic of Kazakhstan in Switzerland.
