The film analyzes specific projects from countries such as Russia, the USA, and France that successfully reduce carbon emissions by combining renewable energy sources with nuclear power plants. The audience was able to see unique footage of facilities in Russia's nuclear industry and hear opinions from leading global experts.
The world premiere of this film took place at the Venice Film Festival in 2022 in the documentary section. Since then, screenings have been held in countries such as Uzbekistan, China, Turkey, Mongolia, Myanmar, Russia, Hungary, India, and Bangladesh.
Dmitry Konstantinov, the general director of the "Rosatom" representative office in Kyrgyzstan, noted that it is time for the country to make important decisions in the energy sector. He emphasized that the younger generation, including future engineers, ecologists, and managers, should form their opinions based on scientific data rather than outdated stereotypes. Stone's film demonstrates that nuclear energy can be an environmentally friendly and stable solution for future generations.
Stanislav Kulikov, the vice-rector for youth and information policy at KRSU, added that such events generate lively interest among students and encourage them to delve into modern technologies.
He also noted that "this documentary touches on complex topics, but the director openly engages in dialogue with the audience, turning scientific discussion into an engaging narrative. A full hall of students confirms that they are concerned about the topic of 'green' energy and future technologies. High-quality multimedia content helps to better understand the role of peaceful nuclear energy in the modern world."
As part of the event, Bermet Usenova, the winner of the "Icebreaker of Knowledge" project, spoke about her participation in the sixth international Arctic expedition organized by "Rosatom." In August of this year, she reached the North Pole as part of an international team of 66 schoolchildren from 21 countries. Bermet shared her impressions from the expedition, including testing rovers and lunar vehicles on Arctic ice.
The event concluded with a discussion during which students could share their impressions of the film and ask questions.
Particular attention was paid to the cooperation between Russia and Kyrgyzstan in the field of education and training personnel for nuclear energy. Currently, 16 citizens of Kyrgyzstan are studying at Russian universities under quotas allocated by "Rosatom." At the National Research Nuclear University MEPhI, there are 58 students, of which 8 have chosen nuclear and related specialties. For the academic year 2025/2026, 7 new quotas are planned for applicants from Kyrgyzstan.
