| Summary |
Noted philosopher Noam Chomsky, world-renowned physician, author, and activist Helen Caldicott, and founder of the Nuclear Age Peace Foundation David Krieger come together through interwoven interviews to create a narrative that addresses one of the most urgent needs of our planet: the modern dangers of nuclear weapons and the threat of nuclear terrorism in the world today. Relying on archival footage of presidents Barack Obama, John Kennedy, Dwight Eisenhower, and Harry Truman, The World Awaits is a documentary depicting the effects of nuclear weapons, the urgent need for nuclear states to reduce and eventually eliminate these highly destructive weapons of mass destruction, and the recent close calls and almost attacks that we've had over the seventy years since the first use of nuclear weapons in August of 1945. |
