Prominent environmentalists and former anti-nuclear activists reflect on their change-of-heart regarding the safety and potential of nuclear energy in the latest film by Robert Stone (Earth Days). In the aftermath of the Fukushima nuclear accident, new questions and old fears re-entered the cultural conversation. These debates are familiar to the film’s interview subjects, Stewart Brand and Richard Rhodes among them, who have come to have second thoughts about nuclear power. Uniquely qualified to argue the merits of nuclear energy as well as concerns about safety, these former detractors speak to commonly held myths, new innovations, climate change, and the allure of renewable resources, with surprising statistics and pointed candor. Provocative and timely, Pandora’s Promise urges one to reconsider power and persuasion.  TM
