Deadly Deception: General Electric, Nuclear Weapons, and Our Environment

With poignant drama and dark humor, DEADLY DECEPTION juxtaposes GEs rosy We Bring Good Things To Life commercials with the true stories of workers and neighbors whose lives have been devastated by the companys involvement in building and testing nuclear bombs. These tragic stories are answered by the inspiring activism of the GE Boycott, a grassroots campaign designed to pressure GE out of the nuclear weapons industry. Nine months after this powerful video won an Oscar in 1992, GE did indeed pull out of the deadliest business of all. Ideal for classes on business ethics, advertising, environmental issues, the arms race, media literacy, and community organizing.
