Pax Christi Texas 2018 State Conference
Dominican Sisters of Houston Spirituality Center Meeting Room Dominican Sisters of Houston, 6501 Almeda Rd, Houston, TX, United States"When people in a democracy are not educated in the art of living --- to strengthen their conscience, compassion, and ability to question and think critically --- they can be easily manipulated by fear and propaganda. A democracy is only as wise as its citizens, and a democracy of ignorant citizens can be as dangerous as a dictatorship."

This black-and-white film is based on Nevil Shute's 1957 novel of the same name depicting the aftermath of a nuclear war. Unlike the novel, no blame is placed on whoever started the war; it is hinted in the film that the threat of annihilation may have arisen from an accident or misjudgment.

Meet filmmaker Regis Tremblay 11:59:30-Thirty Seconds to Midnight
Dominican Sisters of Houston Spirituality Center Meeting Room Dominican Sisters of Houston, 6501 Almeda Rd, Houston, TX, United StatesReception with Regis Tremblay
My new documentary, Thirty Seconds to Midnight, is ready and we will show it in Houston, TX
This has been a very long, three year project that began with my first feature documentary, The Ghosts of Jeju. It was then that I realized the U.S. plan for full spectrum dominance of the planet. My research and interest since then has focused on the trajectory of Manifest Destiny since the white, European explorers came to the Americas in the 15th Century.
And so it is, America’s destiny has all life on the planet on the very brink of extinction. As Dr. Caldicott wonders at the end of the film, “Are we an evolutionary aberration designed in an evolutionary sense not to survive? I wonder.”
