                        "The Day After" is a U.S. post-apocalyptic film that 
first aired on November 20, 1983, on the ABC television network. A 
record-setting 100 million people watched it in the U.S. - and 200 million 
on Russian TV during its initial broadcast.

                        The film postulates a fictional war between NATO 
forces and the Warsaw Pact countries over Germany that rapidly escalates 
into a full-scale nuclear exchange between the United States and the Soviet 
Union. The action focuses on the residents of Lawrence, Kansas, and Kansas 
City, Missouri, and of several family farms near nuclear missile silos.

                        Then-U.S. President Ronald Reagan watched the film 
more than a month before its screening on Columbus Day, October 10, 1983. He 
wrote in his diary that the film was "very effective and left me greatly 
depressed," and that it changed his mind on the prevailing policy on a 
"nuclear war." Maybe this film can still change hearts and minds! Join us to 
find out!

                        Star power:

                        The film's director, Nicholas Meyer has allowed 
World BEYOND War to use the 127-minute theatrical cut of the film, and its 
production researcher, Arthur Kanegis, helped us to get it online. David 
Swanson has agreed to help moderate.

                        We will have a short welcome on Zoom at 12 pm EDT, 
and then watch the movie from 12:10 pm to 2:30 pm EDT, followed by 
presentations and a question-and-answer period with our experts, Vicki Elson 
of NuclearBan.US and Dr. Gordon Edwards of Canadian Coalition for Nuclear 
Responsibility.
