NH #518: Uranium Film Festival - Pacifist Physicists & Filmmaker Claus Biegert

Uranium Film Festival continues with the German film (English Subtitles), Of the Sense of the Whole: The Network of Physicist Hans-Peter Dürr (r). 

This Week's Featured Interview:

The International Uranium Film Festival continues with 34 films on a wide range of nuclear issues around the world. 

• Of the Sense of the Whole: The Network of Physicist Hans-Peter Dürr (VOM SINN DES GANZEN) is a film by Claus Biegert.  As Biegert explains: Hans-Peter Dürr - as a physicist he followed the footsteps of the world re-nowned Werner Heisenberg. As a peace activist he was torn between his PhD supervisor Edward Teller and peace Nobel laureate Josef Rotblat, both  of them involved in the Manhattan Project during World War II. When it became obvious that Hitler would not built an atomic bomb (Wunderwaffe), Rotblat immediately resigned from Los Alamos, Teller stayed and became the "father of the hydrogen bomb". In the early 1950s, the young and naive Hans-Peter from Stuttgart, Germany, stepped into the bomb euphoria in Berkeley, California. It shaped his life. He became a role model for a scientist with responsibility.

The International Uranium Film Festival will make all 34 films on nuclear issues available online, for FREE, UNTIL MAY 30, 2021.  After that, some of these films may not be generally available, so go binge watch them now:  CLICK HERE

NUMNUTZ OF THE WEEK (for Outstanding Nuclear Bone-headedness):

The easiest and best way to achieve anything is to set an intention and put energy behind it... BUT DON'T DO THIS WITH ENVISIONING A NUCLEAR WAR WITH CHINA!
