False Alarm Film Premier
Presented by our friends and colleagues at Beyond The Bomb
Join Beyond the Bomb on May 7th at 5pm PDT for the world premiere of False Alarm by documentary filmmaker/director Nick Lyell. The screening will be followed by a Q&A with the director and other guests.
About the film: False Alarm investigates the diverse reactions to the surreal and traumatic morning when families, soldiers, tourists, and every person in Hawaii was forced to confront an unthinkable reality—an incoming nuclear missile. The film offers a picture of the hope of resistance and tragedy of acceptance around militarism, colonialism, and nuclear weapons through the lens of the 2018 Hawai'i false missile alert.
About the director: Nick Lyell Is a multimedia storyteller whose work often explores power relationships, utopian thinking, and moral inclusion, seeking to find the ways in which our relationships, language, and the stories we tell ourselves can limit or expand the scope of political possibility. Nick has directed, produced, and edited several award-winning fiction and non-fiction short films including “Sirius Lee: The Problematic Time Transplant”, “The Zeke Sanders Story”, “E: The Film”, and “Buried”. His video work has been used in political TV advertisements and for major nationwide US advocacy campaigns. His non-video work has also been featured in art galleries in New York and Madison, WI. Nick currently lives in Oakland, California.
