Gods of Metal

To order

Oscar nominated documentary short
Written, directed and produced by Robert Richter, in collaboration with Fr. Roy Bourgeois and Fr. Paul Newpower

Anti-nuclear activists at the height of the Cold War show their concerns by using non-violent actions that range from writing letters to the President, passing town meeting resolutions, marching in the street and quitting a nuclear weapons factory job, to refusing to pay a share of their taxes, entering a weapons facility and deliberately facing prison for these and other more extreme actions.

"Gods of Metal" is a vivid reminder for concerned people today. If you care about nuclear proliferation this documentary is a text book of what you can do about it.
