Bono and President Mikhail Gorbachev
One of the world’s most popular artistsand human rights activisits, in conversation with a man who changed our world forever. Bono and former President of the USSR President Mikhail Gorbachev meet in Turin, Italy, to discuss the negotiations with Ronald Reagan, what he was facing back home, religious freedom, and the impact the women in his life have had on history.
Michael Douglas and Joseph Rotblat
Joseph Rotblat was one of the world’s first nuclear physicists. He worked on the Manhattan Project to design the atomic bomb, resigned from the project, and worked for 50 years on nuclear disarmament. He founded the Pugwash conferences, which brought Russian and American scientists together during the Cold War. When these scientists went home and advised their governments, Joseph Rotblat may have well saved our planet from destruction.
