[Buddha-l] FW: "Countdown to Zero" a disarm all nukes film in 'up the nukes' masquerade

[JKirkpatrick]

Buddhists today are probably more into peace than war. So I post
this bit in the hope 
that anyone tempted to think it's a "good" film, might be
"enlightened" by this review.
 
At first glance, it's easy to be fooled by the promo for this
film, _Countdown to Zero_ 
(as I was when I first read the promo). However, the following
review goes into the background and subsidising of this film, in
excruciating detail. The discourse is typical Monthly Review.
However, it's worth reading for the facts the author dug up as
help in
connecting the dots to a lot of other political moves in the
offing.
