The Strangest Dream
 

This video podcast series follows the discussions and debates inspired by screenings of The Strangest Dream across Canada.

The Strangest Dream, directed and co-written by Eric Bednarsky, and produced by the National Film Board, explores the life and work of Dr. Joseph Rotblat against nulear weapons. A scientist with the Manhattan Project racing to develop the first nuclear bomb, Rotblat quit in protest when he felt nuclear weapons were no longer needed to win World War II. Rotblat became a catalyst for the anti-nuclear proliferation and peace movements around the world, founding the Pugwash Conferences on Science and World Affairs and eventually winning the Nobel Peace Prize.
