Advisor Lawrence Bender blogs on "Countdown To Zero"

Today's HuffingtonPost features Hollywood Hill Advisor Lawrence Bender discussing his recent Washington screening of Countdown To Zero, his new doc with Participant Media and Director Lucy Walker on nuclear proliferation.

The film is an edge of the seat wake up call about the global nuclear threat. We scheduled the screening for the lead up to President Obama's global nuclear security summit, which is taking place today, convening almost 50 heads of state in Washington. We wanted to ensure that the conversation about the movie helps to create a sense of urgency at the summit. Adding to the momentousness of the past few days, the screening actually ended up taking place on the eve of the historic signing of the new START treaty -- the bilateral agreement between the U.S. and Russia, which, if ratified, will bring about the largest reduction in strategic nuclear arms in a generation.
