In the presence of two-time Oscar winner, Director Oliver Stone, representatives of company JAVYS, a. s., with the participation of the Vice President of the Parliament, members of the National Council of the Slovak Republic, representatives of the Ministry of Economy of the Slovak Republic, Slovak Nuclear Regulatory Authority and many distinguished guests, the premiere of the film Nuclear Now took place in Slovakia.
The more than one-hour documentary, which premiered during the 79th Venice International Film Festival, contains a compilation of information and visual documents on the history of nuclear energy, its development, its benefits for society, as well as the myths that have been attached to nuclear energy due to the public's ignorance, right up to its current renaissance. The document offers reflection and insight into the potential of using nuclear energy as a safe source aiming at meeting the goals and overcoming the challenges of climate change and energy poverty. In the context of irreversible global warming, the film raises the idea that nuclear power may be the future lungs of the earth, because nuclear energy is emission-free and can help us slow or even reverse this dangerous trend.
Director and screenwriter himself had the opportunity to present the documentary at the 53rd World Economic Forum 2023 in Davos, Switzerland. Oliver Stone became famous for his war-themed films Platoon, Born on the Fourth of July and Heaven & Earth, and he has directed blockbusters such as Wall Street or The Doors. As a Screenwriter, he collaborated on Conan the Barbarian, Scarface and Evita.
