Countdown To Zero

Variety calls Countdown to Zero "a politically urgent picture; it will also literally scare the breath out of what will certainly be a worldwide audience."   Entertainment Weekly says "Countdown to Zero makes old terrors radioactively new again."

Countdown to Zero highlights the global nuclear threat and spells out, in chilling terms, the danger facing everyone if nuclear weapons end up in the hands of terrorists. The film features an array of international experts and statesmen -- including Ploughshares Fund President Joe Cirincione -- and it ends with a powerful message: no country should have nuclear weapons.  

Academy Award winner Lawrence Bender and Jeffrey Skoll of Participant Media – the team that produced An Inconvenient Truth –  produced Countdown to Zero in conjunction with Ploughshares Fund grantee Global Zero.
