The new president of the United States of America, Barack Obama has many challenges ahead of him. One of these is the risk of a nuclear weapons strike which is as great today as it was at the height of the Cold War. What is new is that over the last number of years a new peace movement has emerged in the USA. This movement includes people one would not expect: former Secretaries of State George Shultz and Henry Kissinger as well as senators from otherwise opposing political camps. Together they recently published an appeal in the Wall Street Journal, to which further former government secretaries and 1,800 world-class physicists have since lent their voice. One of the most distinguished of the scientists is the now 80-year old Richard Garwin, who himself worked on the first hydrogen bomb and has been an advisor to every US administration since Kennedy. The goal of the movement is "a world without nuclear weapons". They want the US administration to renounce first use of nuclear weapons under all circumstances. Only by such example and transparency will it be possible to move states such as Pakistan or Iran to renounce their own nuclear programs. This film shows for the first time why a new peace movement is forming in the USA. We speak to former Secretary of State George Shultz and physicist Richard Garwin and have been given access to the secret US military research laboratory in Los Alamos.
