Which 2013 documentary about climate change is titled Pandora’s Promise?

The 2013 climate documentary is titled Pandora’s Promise.

Directed by Robert Stone, Pandora’s Promise examines the debate over nuclear power and climate change. The film argues that nuclear energy should receive greater consideration as a low-carbon electricity source, presenting interviews with environmentalists, scientists, and other commentators who changed their views on nuclear energy.

Its title adapts the familiar Pandora expression to suggest that a technology often associated with danger may also contain a potential solution. The documentary therefore uses the myth as a metaphor rather than depicting Pandora herself.

The film generated controversy because its argument challenges the traditional anti-nuclear position held by parts of the environmental movement. Critics disputed its treatment of nuclear risks, costs, waste, and alternatives. Regardless of one’s position, the documentary is specifically about energy policy and climate change, not ancient Greek mythology.
