Synopsis

A legal and environmental crisis unfolds across the expansive American interior, in a visceral journey through the landscapes, ecologies, and personal histories of the candidate sites for a sacrificial nuclear dumping ground.
Moviegoers are saying
Audiences split sharply on this one: the low ratings and the complaints about broken subtitles, a sleepy afternoon, and missing technical context sit beside praise for Casey Carter's weave of communities from Heflin to Hanford. Reviewers who connected with it called the film 'beautiful and disturbing,' pointed to the Yucca Mountain segment featuring Ian Zabarte, and said it would make a powerful double feature with Oppenheimer. Several viewers also wanted more of the nuclear science behind the human stories.

    I respect the filmmaker's concept of a very impressionistic, contemplative documentary, guided by personal testimony and oral history, and I'm grateful for any film that gives me space to sit with my own reflections. However, I also like to hear a specific data point every…

    An excellent counterpoint to Nolan's Oppenheimer. They would make for a powerful double feature.
