Beating the Bomb is a feature length documentary that two London based activists, Meera Patel and Wolfgang Matt, began making three years ago and completed recently. The film is a grassroots effort that the film-makers describe as a labour of love, made with the aim of increasing awareness on issues grossly un(der) represented by the mainstream media. Despite being made on a micro budget with limited resources, the film maintains a high production value and this is evidenced by the fact that the film has recently been selected by 11 international festivals across the world (Austria, France, UK, USA, Turkey and Germany).
The documentary frames the nuclear weapons issue within the wider context of global justice. The narrative follows the history of the British peace movement against the political backdrop of the atomic age (1941-present day).
