Oliver Stone on Nuclear Energy, Putin and the Path to Conspiracies

Oliver Stone on Nuclear Energy, Putin and the Path to Conspiracies

After a quick rundown of the summer’s hottest films, Nayeema and Kara turn to our guest today: acclaimed (and controversial) filmmaker Oliver Stone. The man behind classics like “Wall Street” and “JFK” has turned his lens to climate change solutions in a new documentary, “Nuclear Now.” We discuss the good question of why there isn’t more nuclear energy in the United States, the roots of Stone’s distrust in convention, and the challenge of a world where distrust can turn into conspiracy theory. Need advice?! Call 1-888-KARA-PLZ and share any questions Kara or Nayeema can help you answer. Other questions or Comments? Email us at on@voxmedia.com or find us on social media.
