This film tells the story of the birth of the atomic age. Because the world continues to grapple with its impacts, accompanying the film in each city will be a panel discussion exploring the history of harm imposed by nuclear weapons, the policies that drive their purpose, and the implications of their existence.

Aligning Action is a partnership of organizations and individuals engaged in nuclear threat reduction and disarmament efforts and intersectional issues like environmental protections. Together, we share a concern about the threat of nuclear weapons and work to expand our reach and amplify our impact. Aligning Action was originally conceived in response to a request from many organizations in the field for a place to collaborate across existing efforts. It now serves as a hub where we collectively discover how we can weave our work together.
