SUMMARY:The Threat of Nuclear War: Four Decades After 'The Day After'
DESCRIPTION:Co-sponsored by the Quincy Institute\, The Intercept\, and The 
 Nation  Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and its nuclear threats against the
  United States and NATO have made nuclear war a top-of-mind issue for Amer
 icans once again. Nearly 70 percent of Americans now worry about a nuclear
  attack\, a level of concern unparalleled since the Cold War.  Back then\,
  the ever-present risk of nuclear annihilation was popular culture fare. O
 n a Sunday night in 1983\, more than 100 million people in the United Stat
 es tuned in to ABC’s made for TV film “The Day After.” The film dram
 atized the fictional account of a Kansas town caught in the terror of a nu
 clear war between the United States and the Soviet Union. The film is said
  to have led then-President Ronald Reagan to support his first arms contro
 l agreement with the USSR\, the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty (
 which President Trump withdrew from in 2019).  Please join a webinar cohos
 ted by the Quincy Institute\, The Intercept and The Nation for a discussio
 n with Jeff Daniels\, who made a documentary on the making of "The Day Aft
 er" and its impact\; Katrina vanden Heuvel\, publisher of The Nation\; and
  nuclear weapons expert Professor Sharon K. Weiner to explore the history 
 and the legacy of the film and its lessons for today.  The discussion will
  take place on Tuesday\, June 14 from 5-6 pm ET.
