Countdown to Zero (2010)

The agenda of this documentary is to get rid of all of the nuclear arms across the globe. See what they did there? They're not talkin' 'bout a launch countdown, they're hoping to reduce inventory -- bring the nuclear count down to zero! Clever, no?

Talking heads with facts and figures do a good job of convincing the viewer that any nuclear weapons are too many. The best argument probably came from Iran's President Ahmadinejad, who said something like "If the bomb is good, we should have it. If the bomb is bad, why do you have it?"

So, good message well-researched -- it would've gotten an "A+" as a presentation in current events class, but about a quarter of the students would've been falling asleep and most of the rest would've been checking their watches.
