Pandora's Promise

Documentary89 min

Pandora’s Promise follows environmentalists and energy experts who once opposed nuclear power and now argue it may be essential in a warming world. Stewart Brand and writer Gwyneth Cravens are among the voices reconsidering a technology long defined by the atomic bomb, Cold War dread, and disasters like Fukushima. Through interviews and debates, the film lays out its case for newer reactor designs, the limits of fossil fuels, and the political cost of publicly reversing course on one of the modern era’s most contested energy questions.
