Description
Director Brittany Prater’s investigation into her Iowa hometown’s secret involvement in the Manhattan Project triggers a chain reaction of encounters through which it becomes clear that the topic of nuclear waste was more successfully buried than the waste itself. This film depicts how toxic nuclear waste was allowed to spread to numerous sites around a small Midwest town and, subsequently, the country.
Bullfrog Communities uses film and discussion as a simple way for concerned citizens to stay informed about pressing issues: water, economic justice, food, energy & climate change, immigration, and environment. Scott Sharp will lead a discussion after each film.
This is part of the Friday at the Movies series.
