March of peace

Colourful documentary charting a peace march through the streets of Europe during the summer of 1980. Scenes of atomic missiles and other weapons are contrasted with protestors discussing the need for peace. Dr Kistiakowsky, who worked on the Manhattan Project, argues that the American government must learn to work with the Soviet Union, while Alexander Haig's statement that there are "more important" things than peace is rejected by the protestors. Other scenes feature Sean MacBride, Michael Foot and Leonid Brezhnev.
