Free Ellsberg film

Ellsberg legacy documentary is free to screen with aim to reach and re-awaken as many audiences as possible to the perpetual danger of nuclear war

In a 29-minute documentary, largely featuring the final thoughts of renowned whistleblower Daniel Ellsberg, we are reminded that the imperative to abolish nuclear weapons is more urgent than ever. As the film reveals, nuclear abolition was a cause to which Ellsberg, 92 at the time of filming and in the last year of his life, dedicated his career— and would have given his life for. “I’ve long said that to my last breath I will be doing what I can to postpone and avert the risk of nuclear war,” he says in the film. Ellsberg was a nuclear war planner even before he famously released the Pentagon Papers. The full film is free online, to share, and for public screenings, conferences, classrooms and viewing parties.
