                  MARTIN SHEEN KICKS OFF
           ATOMIC AGE FILM SERIES THIS SATURDAY

Actor Martin Sheen will introduce the documentary classic, *The
Atomic Cafe*, Saturday, April 29th, 11:00 am, at the Laemmle
Monica Theatre in Santa Monica. Physicians for Social Responsibility,
the Nobel Peace Prize-winning organization, is commemorating the
Fiftieth Anniversary of the birth of the nuclear era with the Atomic
Age Film Series.

The Atomic Age Film Series boldly invites the public to re-encounter
the nuclear era. Fifty years ago the Bomb made it's journey from the
laboratories of New Mexico to the streets of Hiroshima and Nagasaki,
and then, with the festering of the Cold War, to the subconscious of
the world. Nineteen films, ranging from the apocalyptic *Dr.
Strangelove* to the B-movie mutant giant-ants in *Them!* to the
profound Hiroshima saga *Black Rain*, each film will document an
aspect of the mood and tenor of the period. Screening Saturday and
Sunday mornings at 11:00 AM at the Laemmle Monica Theater in
Santa Monica, an academic speaker or celebrity from the film will
address the audience before each film.

"American concern with things nuclear collaspsed with the Berlin
Wall," says actor and activist, Martin Sheen. "Unfortunately, the 
U.S. still maintains over 7000 nuclear weapons with no enemy in mind.
Clearly, we must continue to work for peace."
