Th (Part 11: Dr. Helen Caldicott)
2014 · 2h 0m · Documentary
Skip this one—it's a confusing mess that reads more like a hit piece than a documentary, riddled with unsourced claims and lacking the basic structure needed to actually understand Dr. Caldicott's work or legacy. If you want to engage with nuclear policy debates, find something with actual reporting chops instead.
Plot
Dr. Helen Caldicott is the most prominent anti-nuclear activist in the world. She's been featured on CNN, 60 Minutes, CBC and Democracy Now. In the 80s, Helen Caldicott campaigned against nuclear weapons testing in the pacific (still responsible today for the majority of tritium we're exposed to), and against the notion of a winnable nuclear war. She was nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize for her efforts. She has always made inaccurate statements regarding civilian nuclear power. But, since the Fukushima-Diachii radiation release has caused (and is projected to cause) zero fatalities... http://www.unis.unvienna.org/unis/en/... ...her tone has changed when speaking to supporters. This has not been acknowledged by prime-time media, as they continue to use her as a source. Any person or media outlet should check Caldicott's history of statements (on any subject) against a domain expert before using her as a source.
