GATE: Atomic Flame

On Tuesday April 20 2010 (in English) and Wednesday April 21 2010 (in Japanese), St David’s Church Hall at 54 Simpson Street Ardross is the venue for the screening of GATE: Atomic Flame, a documentary produced by the Global Nuclear Disarmament Fund.

In the shadow of the ominous Doomsday Clock, Japanese Zen monks reveal the 60-year-long journey to intervene in the self-destructive fate of humanity set in motion by the Atomic Bomb.

Having just 25 days to retrace the path of the Atomic Bomb, on foot, over mountains and across deserts from San Francisco to Trinity, the monks set out on what will become the final leg of a journey. With the fate of the world hanging in the balance, and with the support of people from all walks of life, religions and nationalities, the monks must convince the United States government to open the gate to the Trinity Site for the first time in 60 years.

Doors open at 6:30 on both nights, with screening to start at 7pm. A small note donation is suggested, with all proceeds going to nuclear disarmament. Feel free to bring soft drinks and cushions.

Details are on this flyer.
