VIDEO about the film. Nuclear Weapons: Countdown to Zero « MomsRising Blog ,   MomsRising Blog, July 23rd, 2010 by Queen Noor of Jordan, MomsRising, I am one of you- a loving mother deeply concerned about the world my children and theirs will inherit from us. That is the most important reason thatI became a founding leader of Global Zero (globalzero.org) and consulted on our new must see film, Countdown to Zero.

The film is a stunning documentaryabout the escalating global nuclear crisis, produced by the Academy Awardwinning team behind an Inconvenient Truth, and premieres in cities acrossAmerica this month. It is an account of the dangers, hidden but still terrifyinglyreal, that we face today from the increasing proliferation of nuclear weaponsaround the world……..

As a founding leader of the Global Zero movement, I believe that the only
solution to nuclear proliferation and nuclear terrorism is the elimination of all
nuclear weapons. It is possible, despite the inevitable predictions of those locked
into a cold war mindset who may say otherwise. Global Zero, which includes
more than 250 former heads of state, foreign and defense ministers, national
security advisers, top military commanders and faith leaders, has developed a
plan for the phased, verified elimination of nuclear weapons that is realistic and
