About
(Helen Young, US, 2018, 87 min, in English)
Peace activists, including elderly Catholic nuns and priests, challenge the security and legality of Americas nuclear weapons when they gain entry to two top secret facilities: the Fort Knox of uranium in Tennessee and a U.S. Navy Trident nuclear submarine base near Seattle. The film follows the federal criminal cases against the activists who are driven by their deep conviction that nuclear weapons are immoral. Through their dramatic, non- violent protests, the activists seek to raise public consciousness on the existential threat posed by nuclear weapons to humanity. The film also follows efforts at the United Nations to negotiate the new Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons.

Accessibility
Ticketing, concessions, cinemas, restrooms, and our public edit lab are located on Northwest Film Forum's ground floor, which is wheelchair accessible. We have a limited number of assistive listening devices available for programs hosted in our larger theater, Cinema 1. These devices are maintained by the Technical Director, and can be requested at the ticketing and concessions counter.
The Forum does NOT have assistive devices for the visually impaired, and is not (yet) a scent-free venue. Our commitment to increasing access for our audiences is ongoing, and we welcome all public input on the subject!
If you have additional specific questions about accessibility at our venue, please contact our Patron Services Manager at maria@nwfilmforum.org
