How To Prevent A Nuclear War is a refreshingly upbeat and compelling look at the kinds of activities that Americans engaged in to lessen the threat of nuclear war.  It is a film about grassroots democracy in action - featuring unforgettable vignettes of people working for peace in their communities.

The film includes a cameo appearance by Tom Lehrer and a spirited cabaret rendition of his satirical ditty "We Will All Go Together When We Go".

I loved it!  This movie makes peace work as appealing as motherhood and apple pie.
