Variety calls Countdown to Zero “a politically urgent picture; it will also literally scare the breath out of what will certainly be a worldwide audience.” Entertainment Weekly says “Countdown to Zero makes old terrors radioactively new again.”
Countdown to Zero highlights the global nuclear threat and spells out, in chilling terms, the danger facing everyone if nuclear weapons end up in the hands of terrorists. The film features an array of international experts and statesmen and it ends with a powerful message: no country should have nuclear weapons.
Academy Award winner Lawrence Bender and Jeffrey Skoll – the team that produced An Inconvenient Truth – produced Countdown to Zero.
Countdown to Zero will be released in select cities on July 23, July 30, and August 6, including the Main Art Theater in Royal Oak on July 30 (Showtimes: 1:30, 4:30, 7:30 and 9:45).
ICPJ will organize carpools for the Friday and Saturday showings at 4:30 and 7:30 p.m. showings. Fill out the carpool request form for details. Continue Reading »
