SUMMARY:Film Screening of 'Threads' and Q&A with Guest Speaker
DESCRIPTION:Forty years ago in 1984\, Mick Jackson’s devastatingly honest account of the effect of nuclear war rocked cinema and television screens. Centering on the city of Sheffield and the travails of two families trying to navigate the impact of a nuclear attack\, Threads details the social\, environmental\, medical and political consequences of nuclear war. Winner of four BAFTA awards and honoured as a masterpiece by film critics at the time and posthumously\, Threads is more relevant than ever. \nIn January 1984\, the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists moved the Doomsday Clock – a symbol that represents the likelihood of a human-made global catastrophe – to three minutes to midnight. Today\, in 2024\, the clock sits at 90 seconds to midnight. Whilst large majorities of the world\, in particular the states of the Global South\, have been determinedly pushing the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons\, the planet’s most powerful states have been fanning the flames of nuclear conflagration. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine saw Putin threaten the use of nuclear weapons\, and Israel’s genocidal war in Palestine was accompanied by the threat of dropping a nuclear bomb on Gaza. \nThreads isn’t simply a reminder of a bygone world\, it is a vision of the world we desperately need to avoid. We live in alarming and perilous times and it is increasingly vital that those of us who value peace and social justice come together to work out how we can change it. Join us for a film screening\, good vibes and a conversation on how we change the world. \nThere will be refreshments.
