| "IF YOU LOVE THIS PLANET YOU WILL CHANGE THE PRIORITIES OF YOUR LIFE AND WORK EVERY SECOND OF EVERY DAY TO SAVE IT": PHYSICIAN AND ANTI-NUCLEAR ACTIVIST HELEN CALDICOTT SPEAKS OUT AGAINST WAR Dr. Caldicott has become world famous for her anti-nuclear activism. As she likes to say, in the late 1970s, she started talking about the dangers of nuclear war as a physician. She said most Americans responded, "it's better to be dead, than red." So she started talking about the actual medical effects of nuclear war. She helped revive the Physicians for Social Responsibility. She was later nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. Caldicott's views on the nuclear industry were featured in the 1982 film If You Love This Planet, which was produced by the National Film Board of Canada. Although it won an Academy Award, the U.S. Department of Justice declared the film political propaganda and monitored its distribution. Her latest book is 'The New Nuclear Danger: George Bush's Military Industrial Complex'. She spoke at Smith College on Nov 12, 2002. The speech was recorded by Robbie Leppzer of Turning Tide Productions. Download lecture with Realplayer |
