5.0 out of 5 stars DARK CIRCLE in the Winners' Circle, November 12, 2010

This review is from: Dark Circle (DVD)

I had the honor and privilege of helping Chris Beaver with the NY premiere of DARK CIRCLE back in the day. I have never ever been so affected by a documentary as I have with DARK CIRCLE. Aside from the meticulaously researched and detailed scientific information made available in the film, the presentation is one that cannot be argued with. And even though it was done in the days of the anti-Nuke movement (where has that movement gone, btw?), I have watched it every year since, and it is frightening how relevant it is today - still. This is a film that must not be missed, must be discussed and watched over and over. The style of the docurama, as Amazon calls it, is riveting. Judy's narration is to the point and non-dramatic which makes it all the more moving, the interviews are dramatic AND true stories from everyday people, and YES! with the current administration's pro-nuke attitude, if you don't see this film, you will be left in - the dark circle. SEE IT NOW.

This review is from: Dark Circle (DVD)

This film will haunt your days and nights, it is a deep inside look at the U.S. nuclear weapons program, its cost in financial and human terms, and security or lack of it is at times frightening.

Produced by a highly talented team originally aired for POV on PBS, now hard to find, but definitely worth a watch for scientists, historians, and anyone interested in the MADness of mutually assured destruction.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Film, December 15, 2008

By 

Judith Turner - See all my reviews

This review is from: Dark Circle (DVD)

This is a great film. I saw it years ago on television and was very moved by it. Years later, I saw "The Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill," by the same director (Judy Irving). Another excellent film. I'm glad "Dark Circle" is now available on DVD. It's a classic. Informative yet emotionally wrenching.
