On July 7, 2017, 122 countries voted for the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW), a historic ban that proceeded despite nuclear powers abstaining. This marked a significant shift, driven by non-nuclear states living under the threat of these weapons.

This 56-minute documentary explores the journey to establish the TPNW, highlighting the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons (ICAN) and the humanitarian initiative. Through the voices of leading activists, it traces the history of nuclear weapons and anti-nuclear efforts, detailing steps taken since 2010 to make the treaty a reality. The film also empowers viewers, showing how individuals can help bring the treaty into force and stigmatize nuclear weapons until their eradication.

Currently, Shaylan researches carbon farming at Caney Fork Farm. She also studied in Bhutan, investigating factors contributing to the rapid dieback of the Himalayan Blue Pine. Deeply interested in understanding humanity's role in the environment, she is driven to make a positive global impact.
