A short documentary that takes a look at the lives of the Grady family and their fight for nuclear disarmament, this is Hammers of Peace by Samu Gabor.


Whilst many will agree with the statement that war is wrong, there aren’t many who will stand up and take action against those that want to harm other countries. The Grady family doesn’t fall into that demographic. They have continued to protest for forty years in order to be heard and to try and stop the atrocities being forged by their own government...
