In commemoration of the 62nd anniversary of the U.S. atomic bombings of Japan, Western States Legal Foundation invites you to a very special film screening and book launch. Meet the co-producers and authors! SUNDAY JULY 22, 4 - 6 PM HIBAKUSHA: In this new fifteen-minute film, Japanese citizen Keiji Tshuchiya uses 12 powerful watercolors which he painted five years ago to tell the story of his experiences in Hiroshima as a 17-year old soldier during the month immediately following the dropping of the atomic bomb. While the film addresses a horrific moment in history, it emphasizes how Mr. Tsuchiya has directed his life towards purpose and healing through his life-long commitments to advocating for the atomic bomb survivors, opposing nuclear war and preserving the Japanese horseshoe crab. Co-produced by Kathy Sloane, photographer, director and editor, and Michele Mason, interpreter (2007). NUCLEAR DISORDER OR COOPERATIVE SECURITY? U.S. WEAPONS OF TERROR, THE GLOBAL PROLIFERATION CRISIS, AND PATHS TO PEACE: This new book offers in-depth analysis and recommendations regarding U.S. policy in relation to the international security framework, nuclear weapons R&D, missiles and weapons in space, climate change and nuclear power, and demilitarization and redefining security in human terms. A response to the report of the Hans Blix-led Weapons of Mass Destruction Commission, it is the product of collaboration between Western States Legal Foundation, the Lawyers’ Committee on Nuclear Policy, and the Reaching Critical Will project of the Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom. Authors include WSLF’s Jacqueline Cabasso and Andrew Lichterman (2007). Nuclear Disorder or Cooperative Security? can be ordered at www.wmdreport.org Suggested donation: $10 - $15 (no one turned away) Artisanal wine and light refreshments Proceeds benefit Western States Legal Foundation and HIBAKUSA
