The Strangest Dream

The Strangest Dream tells the story of Joseph Rotblat, the only scientist to quit the Manhattan Project on moral grounds. Once branded a traitor, he turned to promoting peace, co-founding the Pugwash Conferences to fight nuclear proliferation. Spanning from the first atomic test to Hiroshima and beyond, the film reveals Pugwash’s quiet role in easing Cold War tensions and warns of today’s renewed nuclear threats—while inspiring hope through the courage of scientists and citizens dedicated to disarmament.
