                                                               Southwest Research and Information Center (SRIC) was
                                                               founded in 1971 for the purpose of providing information to
                                                               the public on the effects of energy development and
                                                               resource exploitation on the people and their cultures, lands,
                                                               water, and air of New Mexico and the Southwest.
                                                           SRIC's purpose, including the focus on issues affecting the
                                                           Southwest, has remained essentially unchanged, although it
                                                           now has a successful record in affecting issues of national
                                                           and even international importance, such as nuclear waste
                                                           management and uranium mining reclamation. SRIC also
                                                           has helped empower dozens of local community groups so
                                                           that they effectively participate in government and corporate
                                                           decisions that affect them.

                                                             SRIC's success over the years has been achieved by
                                                             developing a link with communities based on trust,
                                                             offering both expertise and great sensitivity for their need
                                                             for empowerment.

                                                           Throughout its history, SRIC has strived to play a unique
                                                           role among nonprofit, public-interest organizations active in
                                                           New Mexico and the Southwest. That role has stressed
                                                           providing accurate information and analysis that people and
                                                           community groups can use to influence decisions that
                                                           directly affect them. SRIC's community-sensitive technical
                                                           assistance services are the reason that individuals and
                                                           groups continue to seek out the Center's staff on a wide
                                                           range of environmental and resource development issues.
                                                           SRIC networks with dozens of groups throughout the nation
                                                           on various issues, and staff are widely recognized as policy
                                                           experts on nuclear wastes, oil and gas, and mining.

                                                           generational, multi-faceted problems. The five professional
                                                           staff collectively have more than 100 years experience with
                                                           the organization, reflecting their long-term commitment to
                                                           the issues and to the affected communities.

                                                           First, we provide various services -- technical assistance,
                                                           networking, public information, policy analysis,
                                                           environmental analysis, and skills development. Second,
                                                           we integrate those services into our five active, ongoing

COUNTDOWN TO ZERO (Nuclear
Weapons) traces the history of the
atomic bomb from its origins to the
present state of global affairs: nine
nations possessing nuclear weapons
capabilities with others racing to join
them, with the world held in a delicate
balance that could be shattered by an act
of terrorism, failed diplomacy, or a simple
accident.

The film was produced by Academy
Award® winner Lawrence Bender (An
Inconvenient Truth ) and developed,
financed and executive produced by
Participant Media, together with World
Security Institute.
