NUKEBUSTERS seeks powerful films to inspire millennials to get active in the movement to eliminate nuclear weapons. We seek compelling stories, original voices, and a magnetic quality that inspires action. We encourage entries in any format: documentary, advocacy, narrative, animated shorts or music videos. Can you make a creative film that will speak to youth?
