| Dear joseph,
Filmmaker Bud Ryan shows the
trailer of The Forgotten Bomb
at last year's national conference |
Below is a special message from filmmaker and Pax Christi USA member Bud Ryan. As part
of our "A New Moment for Nuclear Disarmament" campaign, we are trying to do everything we can to promote this film
and assure as large an audience as possible for it. We hope you'll read Bud's message below and do what you can to support
the film.
As many of you know Stuart Overbey (the director) and myself have finished our anti-nuclear documentary,
"The Forgotten Bomb," after 3 years working on the project. We have submitted the film to 5 film festivals -- Toronto,
Venice, AFI, Telluride & the Hampton's and hopefully we will get accepted by at least one of them where we will (again
hopefully) get a distribution deal.
Right
now as we wait to hear from the festivals that we have submitted to (we should hear by mid-August), we are trying to promote
the film in any way we can. One of the ways we are promoting the movie is by starting a Facebook page which you can get to
by clicking here.
On the Facebook page, we have the trailer,
production stills and a news story from Nagasaki TV from when we were there in December of 2007 filming. We will soon be posting
a 2nd Nagasaki TV news story that was broadcast during our trip.
The reason for this email is Stuart and I are asking for your
help in trying to get on the Oprah Winfrey show. If you click on the link below, it should take you to a form
that asks you who you would like to see on Oprah's show. We are asking you
to PLEASE fill out the form and tell them that you would like to see Stuart Overbey (director, editor, producer) and
Bud Ryan (executive producer, co-director, writer) on the show.
At the bottom of the form for guests you'd like to see on the Oprah show, it says: "Tell Us Your
Story." There is a 2000 characters-limit, so you don't have to include all the info I've supplied below, but please minimally
include:
- Our names, Bud Ryan and Stuart Overbey
- Our website, http://www.forgottenbomb.com
- And some of the people we've interviewed and places we visited (see below)
- You might also mention that because of President Obama's 2009 Prague speech
about nuclear weapons, the NPT Review Conference in May, Russian-U.S. talks on nukes, and more, our film is very timely.
When you fill out the form, please include the website so they can access the trailer; you might also
mention or provide a link to the Facebook page.
People we interviewed for the film:
- George Shultz, former Secretary of State for Ronald
Reagan
- Jonathan Schell, author of the million-selling book about the consequences
of nuclear war, The Fate of the Earth
- Gar Alperovitz, author of The Decision to Use the Atomic Bomb
- Hibakusha (bomb survivors) from both Hiroshima & Nagasaki
- Joni Arends, Director of the nuclear watchdog group Concerned Citizens for Nuclear Safety
- Steve Leeper, Director of the Hiroshima Peace Foundation
- Jim Douglass,
peace activist and author of JFK and the Unspeakable
- Dr. Ivan Oelrich, Federation of American Scientists
- Dr. Mike McCally,
Physicians for Social Responsibilty
- Dr. George Cowan, Manhattan Project Scientist
- John Burroughs, Lawyers Committee on Nuclear Safety
- Yvonne Morris, Director of the Titan Missile Museum
- Carletta Garcia, former
uranium miner
- Rabbi Michael Lerner, peace activist and founder and publisher
of Tikkun magazine
- Fr. John Dear, Jesuit priest, peace activist and
author
- Barbara Rose Johnston, author of The Consequential
Damages of Nuclear War
- Roshi Joan Halifax, Buddhist peace activist
- Dave Robinson, Executive Director of Pax Christi USA, the Catholic peace organization
- Jim Winkler, General Secretary, United Methodist General Board of Church and Society
- Lincoln Grahlfs, atomic veteran and author
During filming, we visited:

- Washington, D.C.
- San Francisco
- Las Vegas
- Tucson, AZ
- Various
places in New Mexico
Stuart and I thank you for your help.
PAZ!
Bud
