On July 7, 2017, 122 countries voted in favour of the Nuclear Weapons Ban Treaty. In favour were countries that do not have nuclear weapons but live under the threat of them. The governments of the major nuclear powers did not vote and yet the ban went ahead. Something new was happening.
This documentary directed by Alvaro Orus is about the efforts to incorporate a nuclear weapons ban treaty into international law and the role of the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons, ICAN, is told through the voices of prominent activists from various organizations and countries as well as the president of the negotiating conference.
It takes the audience through a brief history of the bomb and anti-nuclear activism. It goes on to consider how humanitarian action successfully challenged the dominant security narrative and the historic steps taken since 2010 to make the treaty a reality. Finally, the film shows what anyone can do to help the treaty enter into force and stigmatize nuclear weapons until they are finally eradicated.

The documentary “RBUI, our right to live”, directed by Álvaro Orus, deals with the right of all human beings to subsist simply by being born. It is an idea that already has some history, but that has spread spectacularly in recent years, especially due to the fact that technological development threatens the majority of the population to be unemployed and unable to cover their needs. The documentary is mainly constituted by interviews made not only to the founders, who have been working for more than thirty years on this idea, but also to academics and activists, who tell us about their activities and experiences around the world.

Poggio alla Croce is a small village of two hundred people in the province of Florence, Italy, divided between two municipalities, perched on a ridge overlooking two valleys. One day, at the beginning of 2017, a “bombshell” exploded that altered the rhythms of the community: immigrants arrived.
The word is enough, without anyone’s confirmation, to start a collection of signatures to say no to the arrival of foreigners at the Villa Viviana residence, once a restaurant and hotel.
In a few days, the petition received about 230 signatures, more than the number of residents. But a group of citizens decided to prepare the welcome in a positive way, first with information meetings and then with a real school for immigrants, modelled on the experience of Don Milani.
They do this by being guided by Ubuntu, an ancient philosophy of South African origin that theorises a universal bond of exchange uniting all humanity: “I am what I am because of what we all are”.
Ubuntu is also the name of the free software that is installed on the old computers used to teach immigrants, regenerated and brought back to life, and therefore a metaphor for the “human regeneration” that took place in Poggio alla Croce.
