Documentaries

Not everyone connects with dense research papers and that’s okay. Documentaries bring nuclear issues to life in a way that is engaging, visual, and deeply human. Through powerful storytelling, these films highlight the realities of nuclear weapons, the struggles for peace, and the urgent call for disarmament.

This section of the Africa Nuclear Digital Hub is designed for visitors who prefer to learn by watching and listening. Our hope is that these documentaries will not only inform but also inspire the next generation of African voices to become champions of nuclear disarmament and pursue careers in shaping a safer, nuclear-weapon-free world.
