Tuesday, August 26–Dinner and a Movie “The Original Child Bomb”. Inspired by Thomas Merton’s poem, ORIGINAL CHILD BOMB shows the human cost of nuclear weapons. The bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki are depicted through declassified footage, photographs, drawings and testimonies of mothers, brothers and soldiers. Ordinary people gaze upon the nuclear past and its terrifying present. They expose the political rhetoric surrounding “security” and “weapons of mass destruction”. The film is a wake-up call and an invitation to action. FREE and open to the public. All are welcome to RSVP and bring a dish to pass, but this is not required. Dinner will begin at 6:30PM, and the movie will be at 7PM. Located at Memorial Christian Church, 730 Tappan, Ann Arbor. Questions? Want to RSVP?
