ICAN Australia is pleased to announce a fundraiser screening of the movie Atomic Mom at ACMI Cinemas in Melbourne’s Federation Square on Monday June 20 as part of our global Nuclear Abolition Day activities.

Atomic Mom, a feature length documentary by M.T. Silvia, tells the story of two lives, two mothers, affected by the atom bomb – that of a scientist involved in the post-war development and testing of the bomb and the one on whom it was unleashed.


Atomic Mom holds out hope in a world torn with conflict. As two women whose lives have been altered in unimaginable ways clear the clouds of distrust and anger and open their hearts to reconciliation – they provide hope for a better future for all of us.For more info and to view a trailer check out the website here:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wezh9saXgo0&feature=player_embedded
