In this 29-minute documentary, renowned whistleblower Daniel Ellsberg provides a powerful wakeup call about the global threat posed by nuclear weapons and how we can dramatically reduce the real and present danger of nuclear annihilation.
Before he released the top secret Pentagon Papers during the Vietnam War, Ellsberg was a nuclear war planner with access to classified information on U.S. nuclear strategy.
Filmed a year before his death at age 92, Ellsberg speaks with clarity and urgency about the dangers we face, noting, ”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.”
With ongoing conflicts heightening nuclear tensions and with the recent end of the new START treaty potentially triggering a renewed arms race, An Ordinary Insanity is a timely film to help mobilize broad public concern and action for arms control and nuclear disarmament.
