Ashton has urged people to join the Global Zero petition and Al Gore is showing his support for tonight’s nationwide premiere of Countdown To Zero on Demand Zero Day.
Demand Zero Day will see the live broadcast from BAFTA of a high-profile discussion panel featuring Her Majesty Queen Noor of Jordan, Margaret Beckett (former Foreign Secretary), Valerie Plame-Wilson (ex-CIA operative) and producer Lawrence Bender (An Inconvenient Truth, Inglourious Basterds). Demand Zero Day is your opportunity to pick this amazing array of brains about Countdown to Zero's message.
Over 72 venues across the UK and Ireland are taking part in this event. Find your nearest screening, learn about the campaign and get involved in this special event:
COUNTDOWN TO ZERO traces the history of the atomic bomb from its origins to the present state of global affairs: nine nations possessing nuclear weapons capabilities with others racing to join them, with the world held in a delicate balance that could be shattered by an act of terrorism, failed diplomacy, or a simple accident. Written and directed by acclaimed documentarian Lucy Walker, the film features an array of important international statesmen, including former world leaders Jimmy Carter, Mikhail Gorbachev, Pervez Musharraf and Tony Blair. It makes a compelling case for worldwide nuclear disarmament, an issue more topical than ever with the Obama administration working to revive this goal today.
