You’re invited to a screening of Christopher Nolan’s upcoming film, Oppenheimer, at a theater near you.
Oppenheimer tells the story of the birth of the atomic age. Because the world continues to grapple with its impacts, accompanying the film in each city will be a panel discussion exploring the history of harm imposed by nuclear weapons, the policies that drive their purpose, and the implications of their existence.
