MUMBAI: Queen Noor, the widow of King Hussein of Jordan is in Hollywood in connection of her documentary on nuclear bomb proliferation Countdown to Zero that will release in theatres in the US in July.

Countdown to Zero, a 90-minute documentary, explores the history of the atomic bomb and today‘s threat of nuclear proliferation. The film has been written and directed by Lucy Walker.

The documentary features interviews with the likes of former UK prime minister Tony Blair, ex-US President Jimmy Carter, one-time USSR General Secretary Mikhail Gorbachev and the late former Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara, among many others.

As founding leader of Global Zero, a movement aimed at phasing out nuclear weapons around the world, Queen Noor served as a special consultant on the film, her first foray into Hollywood moviemaking.

The Queen was joined by producers Lawrence Bender and Diane Weyermann of Participant Media, who were both part of the team that made the Oscar-winning global warming documentary An Inconvenient Truth.
