“This program draws its theme from the perspective of Astronaut Russell Schweickart as he stepped out into space during the Apollo 9 spaceflight:   ‘When you go around Earth in an hour and a half, you begin to recognize that your identity is with that whole thing, and that makes a change.  From where you see it, Earth is a whole...and it is so beautiful.  There are no frames.  There are no boundaries.’  This program explores the ‘frames’ of reference and the artificial man-made ‘boundaries’ that exist between nations and the current spending each year for armaments to defend them. It also presents the global groundswell of grassroots and community action by people responding to the increasing threat of nuclear annihilation.  We see that as a human race we must move from our restricted frames and boundaries to the perception of Earth as a whole interrelated system.”
