More About Against the Wind Festival

This is a non-profit group organized to help support the Golden Rule Project, whose objectives are to raise awareness of the dangers of nuclear armaments and nuclear war.

Central to this effort is the production of the play, “Which Way the Wind,” (download script) an anti-nuclear arms docudrama. While the play focuses on the real danger of nuclear holocaust it articulates principles that can be applied to the broader social and political issues of race, justice, equality and the ‘golden rule.’ We will work with individuals and groups to explore, educate, engage, and discuss these larger issues with a series of lectures, discussions, seminars, workshops, and other related activities.
