THE LAST RESORT chronicles the fight over the controversial nuclear power plant at Seabrook, New Hampshire, in the late 1970s.
On August 1,1976, eighteen New Hampshire citizens were arrested for occupying the newly-bulldozed site. Nine months later, more than 2,000 people repeated the action in a growing non-violent movement that made world headlines and that prompted parallel occupations all over the United States. Their tactics and their success in organizing set the stage for the public reaction to Three Mile Island and Chernobyl, and sparked an on-going debate that has led to a curtailing of America's nuclear power program.
