'A Common Insanity': A Short Nuclear Weapons Documentary with Daniel Ellsberg
From our friends at Roots Action -- on the first anniversary of when the inspiring whistleblower and peace activist Daniel Ellsberg passed away -- we’re inviting you to watch and share the new film “A Common Insanity: A Conversation with Daniel Ellsberg About Nuclear Weapons.”
Powerful and concise in little more than half an hour, A Common Insanity provides never-before-seen footage as Ellsberg explains what he learned as a nuclear war planner, and as an independent researcher during the five decades after he revealed the Pentagon Papers. The new documentary was directed by Oscar-nominated filmmaker Judith Ehrlich, who co-directed and co-produced The Most Dangerous Man in America: Daniel Ellsberg and the Pentagon Papers.
“Can humanity survive the nuclear era?” Ellsberg asks in A Common Insanity. “We don’t know. I choose to act as if we have a chance."
