Pandora’s Promise is a feature-length documentary that explores the history and future of nuclear power, and 'aims to dispel myths and spark a debate about whether you can be simultaneously “pro-nuclear” and an environmentalist'. [1]

Some commentators have described it as pro-nuclear propaganda film, others have shrugged it off as 'featuring the same old converts and straw men'... with tiny audiences and generally unenthusiastic reviews, especially from reviewers knowledgeable about nuclear power'. [2]


Background

Promotional blurb

A feature-length documentary about the history and future of nuclear power. The film explores how and why mankind's most feared and controversial technological discovery is now passionately embraced by many of those who once led the charge against it. Operating as history, cultural meditation and contemporary exploration, PANDORA'S PROMISE aims to inspire a serious and realistic debate over what is without question the most important question of our time: how do we continue to power modern civilization without destroying it?
