Help Nuclear Hotseat’s Libbe HaLevy to Attend International Uranium Film Festival!

Hi All – I’m honored to have been asked to attend the 2023 International Uranium Film Festival in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil as a Special Guest. I’ll not only be covering and reviewing each of the films, I’ll be:

• Reporting on each of the films to put you in the front row.
• Interviewing filmmakers for upcoming episodes of Nuclear Hotseat
• Introducing Heidi Hutner’s film, RADIOACTIVE: The Women of Three Mile Island
• Networking with filmmaker/activists from around the world for information exchange and future actions.
• Bringing it all to you with a (technology permitting) LIVESTREAM.

Travel expenses remain an issue. Because of the award I received when I won the 2022 Nuclear Free Future Award for Education, I’m able to cover the cost of the flights. However, I need help with the other expenses, including housing, meals, ground transportation, and care for my dog Munchkin while I’m gone. That’s where YOU come in!
