The film The Strangest Dream "is the story of Joseph Rotblat, the only nuclear scientist to leave the Manhattan Project, the U.S. government’s secret program to build the first atomic bomb. His was a decision based on moral grounds. The film retraces the history of nuclear weapons, from the first nuclear test in New Mexico (July 16, 1945), to Hiroshima, where we see survivors of the first atomic attack. Branded a traitor and spy, Rotblat went from designing atomic bombs to researching the medical uses of radiation. Together with Bertrand Russell he helped create the modern peace movement, and eventually won the Nobel Peace Prize.
He was integral to the founding of Pugwash. Featuring interviews with contemporaries of Rotblat and passionate public figures including Senator Roméo Dallaire, The Strangest Dream demonstrates the renewed threat of nuclear weapons and encourages hope through the example of morally engaged scientists and citizens.” On January 22 ’15, “the symbolic doomsday clock moved to three minutes before midnight ... because of the gathering dangers of climate change and nuclear proliferation, signalling the gravest threat to humanity since the throes of the cold war.” It’s time to talk.</span><br><span style="font-size: 14px;"><a href="http://green13toronto.org/event/strangest-dream-free-screening-and-discussion">http://green13toronto.org/event/strangest-dream-free-screening-and-discussion</a></span><br><br><span style="font-size: 14px;">---------------------------------------</span><br><span style="font-size: 14px;">---------------------------------------</span><br><br><b><font size="4" color="#be38f3">Toronto Anarchist Bookfair </font></b><br><span style="font-size: 14px;">July 18 - 19</span><br><span style="font-size: 14px;"><a href="http://torontoanarchistbookfair.wordpress.com/">torontoanarchistbookfair.wordpress.com/</a></span><br><br><span style="font-size: 14px;">---------------------------------------</span><br><span style="font-size: 14px;">---------------------------------------</span><br><br><b><font size="4" color="#3a88fe">Your Water Footprint - With Stephen Leahy</font></b><br><span style="font-size: 14px;">Wed July 22, Toronto – 7 pm </span><br><span style="font-size: 14px;">North York Central Library</span><br><span style="font-size: 14px;"><a href="http://yourwaterfootprint.me/2015/05/20/upcoming-events-and-appearances/">http://yourwaterfootprint.me/2015/05/20/upcoming-events-and-appearances/</a></span><br><br><span style="font-size: 14px;">---------------------------------------</span><br><span style="font-size: 14px;">---------------------------------------</span></font></div><div><font face="Times"><br><b><font size="4" color="#669c35">4th annual Toronto Vintage Bicycle Show </font></b><br><span style="font-size: 14px;">Sunday July 26, 10 am -5 pm </span><br><span style="font-size: 14px;">Trinity Bellwoods Park (Queen and Strachan)</span><br><span style="font-size: 14px;">This is a shine and show event.

(at Bathurst)</span><br><span style="font-size: 14px;">With over a billion cars worldwide, climate change and never-ending gridlock are a grim reality, but can we change our cities? Director Fredrik Gertten (Big Boys Gone Bananas!*) investigates the daily drama of traffic worldwide and the bicycle as a tool for change. Travelling from São Paulo, Los Angeles and Toronto, where cyclists fight daily for their right to the road, to Copenhagen, where forty percent of the population commutes by bike, Gertten meets activists and thinkers who are working for revolutionary changes. Beautifully crafted, Bikes vs Cars is an intimate and powerful look at how to move away from car-centric models and toward livable cities. Director Fredrik Gertten will participate in Q&As on Friday, July 31, at 6:30 p.m. and Saturday, August 1, at 12:30 p.m. and 9:30 p.m.</span><br><span style="font-size: 14px;"><a href="http://boxoffice.hotdocs.ca/WebSales/pages/info.aspx?evtinfo=41878~fff311b7-cdad-4e14-9ae4-a9905e1b9cb0&">http://boxoffice.hotdocs.ca/WebSales/pages/info.aspx?evtinfo=41878~fff311b7-cdad-4e14-9ae4-a9905e1b9cb0&</a></span><br><br><span style="font-size: 14px;">---------------------------------------</span><br><span style="font-size: 14px;">---------------------------------------</span><br><br><b><font size="4" color="#be38f3">Ground Zero to Global Zero: Hope After 70 Years</font></b><br><span style="font-size: 14px;">Thur.
