This film records a lecture given to students by outspoken nuclear critic, Dr. Helen Caldicott, president of Physicians for Social Responsibility in the United States. Her message is clear, disarmement cannot be postponed. Archival film footage of the bombing of Hiroshima and images of its survivors seven months after the attack heighten the urgency of her message : namely, that unless we shake off our indifference and work to prevent nuclear war, we stand a slim chance of surviving the 20th century. 1, record 1, English, - If%20you%20love%20this%20planet

Dans une conférence filmée en 1981, la docteure Helen Caldicott relève les calculs de probabilité les plus connus («une chance sur deux d'ici à 1985» ce sont les prévisions de l'état-major américain confirmées par l'université Harvard et le Massachusetts Institute of Technology) et la «chronique des erreurs» (les ordinateurs du Pentagone se seraient trompés 151 fois en 18 mois! 1, record 1, French, - Si%20cette%20plan%C3%A8te%20vous%20tient%20%C3%A0%20c%26oelig%3Bur
