Around 100 people & NGOs have contributed to this first media project of BANg, by translation work, articles and other items, technical & financial support etc. Big thanks goes out to all of them!!
The DVD has been presented for the first time at the NPT PrepCom in Vienna on 4th May 2007.
From the secrets of the Manhattan Project through the horrific devastation at Hiroshima and Nagasaki - these two 7th graders lead a new generation through our nuclear history; along the way they manage to interview Nobel prize winning scientists, the creator of the "Doomsday Clock," the mayor of Hiroshima and even a Hiroshima 7th grader about the legacy of the atomic bomb. Even more creatively, they also track down the proverbial "Genie" to find out why he has created such havoc. Screened at the United Nations, this 15-minute gem received a standing ovation.
