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
Casey Carter's contemplative documentary 'To Use a Mountain' follows six rural American communities considered for nuclear waste storage sites, earning praise for its stunning visuals and powerful human stories while frustrating some viewers with its impressionistic approach that prioritizes personal testimony over technical explanations. Critics consistently highlight the film's exceptional graphic design and its ability to transform government documents into deeply human narratives about land, sovereignty, and environmental justice.
