"Countdown to Zero": Valerie Plame Wilson's new anti-nuke crusade
The outed CIA agent explains why she left private life behind for the new must-see doc, "Countdown to Zero"
By Andrew O'Hehir

All I can tell you is that you should absolutely see this movie. I know: It sounds like a combination of spinach and scare tactics, just what you want on Saturday night. But it will get your attention, and you will never again assume that what Wilson calls the "truly existential threat" of nuclear weapons has become remote or purely theoretical.

"Countdown to Zero" is now playing in New York, Washington and Rockland, Maine. It opens July 30 in Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Denver, Detroit, Los Angeles, Minneapolis, Philadelphia, Portland, Ore., St. Louis, San Diego, San Francisco, Seattle and Austin, Texas; Aug. 6 in Cleveland, Miami, Pittsburgh, Sacramento, Salt Lake City and Santa Fe, N.M; Aug. 13 in Charlotte, N.C., Kansas City, Las Vegas, Madison, Wis., Sarasota, Fla., and Winter Park, Fla; and Aug. 20 in Albuquerque, N.M., Little Rock, Ark., Olympia, Wash., Tucson, Ariz., and El Paso, Texas, with more cities to follow.

3. Many knowledgeable folks in this film. It'll scare the heck out you. (Probably NOT a date movie,
except for possibly some DUers!)
