The World's First Nuclear Hostage

Mordechai Vanunu came to Britain six years ago with evidence to support his claim that Israel was secretly producing nuclear weapons. Just before his revelations were published, he was kidnapped by Mossad agents, returned to Israel and sentenced in a secret trial to 18years' solitary confinement. Made by his brother Meir on behalf of the Campaign to Free Vanunu to mark the sixth anniversary of his controversial disclosures, this film tells the full story of an individual whose conscience led him to risk life and freedom for the sake of global security.
