Bound by the Wind (NR)

synopsis

Featuring celebrated scientist and Avedon subject Linus Pauling, a Nobel laureate for chemistry and recipient of the 1962 Nobel Peace Prize for his antinuclear activism, Bound by the Wind tracks the long international movement to institute a nuclear test ban treaty. Originally distributed as an activist piece for test-ban organizers in the 1990s, the documentary highlights global and local communities that continue to suffer the effects of being downwind of these world-changing experiments.
