award-winning investigative journalist and "health guru"
KNOCKING ON THE DEVIL'S DOOR: Our Deadly Nuclear Legacy
Thursday, October 13 at 7 PM All Tickets $15
The nuclear reactor catastrophes at Chernobyl, Three Mile Island, and
now at Fukushima, Japan, remind us that a heinous specter continues
to hover over the health and security of millions of people around the
world. Not only does the threat of nuclear weapons proliferation linger
but every nuclear station sits as a ticking bomb awaiting meltdown and
terrorist attack. Many Russian studies conclude that Chernobyl killed
approximately a million people since the 1986 meltdown. And the cost of
the Daiichi Fukushima crisis may be substantially higher. Nuclear energy
is neither clean nor green. From the mining of radioactive materials to
their transportation and the storage of radioactive waste, the nuclear
cartel is contaminating natural habitats, rivers and aquifers while endangering
millions of lives. Knocking on the Devil's Door deconstructs the
corporate and political rhetoric feeding the media misinformation campaigns
to seduce us into believing that low level radiation emitted from nuclear plants is perfectly safe and that our future depends
upon nuclear energy. The US is prepared to give tens of billions of dollars to build 200 new nuclear power reactors. The liability for
nuclear accidents and meltdowns falls upon taxpayers. Old decaying and leaking reactors are being relicensed, increasing the stakes
that another catastrophe will occur. Knocking on the Devil's Door features the world's most vital voices demanding the cessation of
nuclear power including Helen Caldicott, Harvey Wasserman, Vandana Shiva, Michio Kaku, Greg Palast, Karl Grossman, Ernest
Sternglass and others. Attendees will receive a free copy of Knocking on the Devil's Door. (USA, 2011, 90 min.)
A portion of the proceeds benefit the Progressive Radio Network, a non-commercial and listener supported station advocating for
political and social reform and reform in health care, environment and quality of life.
