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

Published: July 6, 2023, 9 a.m.

After a quick rundown of the summer\u2019s hottest films, Nayeema and Kara turn to our guest today: acclaimed (and controversial) filmmaker Oliver Stone. The man behind classics like \u201cWall Street\u201d and \u201cJFK\u201d has turned his lens to climate change solutions in a new documentary, \u201cNuclear Now.\u201d We discuss the good question of why there isn\u2019t more nuclear energy in the United States, the roots of Stone\u2019s distrust in convention, and the challenge of a world where distrust can turn into conspiracy theory.\xa0\n\nNeed advice?!
