Veterans for Peace to show sci-fi movie 'Pax Americana' April 28 in Potsdam

Posted

POTSDAM – The movie "Pax Americana" will be shown 7 p.m. Thursday, April 28, in the Potsdam Civic Center community room, sponsored by North Country Veteran's for Peace, Chapter 121.

According to the movie's website, "The prospect of Earth being ruled from space is no longer science-fiction.” The movie tackles the pivotal moment. Are war machines already orbiting Earth? Can treaties keep space weapons-free? Must the world capitulate to one super-cop on the global beat?

With startling archival footage and unprecedented access to U.S. Air Force Space Command, the documentary reveals the state of play through generals, space-policy analysts, politicians, diplomats, peace activists, and hawks.

The movie is free and open to the public. A short discussion will follow. Donations will be welcome to support Veterans For Peace.
