"Nuclear Hope" aims to provide some thoughtful discussion to one of humanity’s greatest dilemmas. How do you effectively deal with the most toxic substance the earth has to give?

"Nuclear Hope" attempts to move beyond these simplistic perspectives by considering multiple perspectives of this complex issue and allow the audience to make their own decisions.
