A free film screening, followed by a panel discussion with Q&A.
Hiroshima. Nagasaki. Mercury, Nevada? The latter was the site for the testing of 928 nuclear weapons on American soil from 1951 to 1992. The fallout is still lethally impacting Americans today. Martin Sheen narrates this harrowing exposé of the United States’ disregard for everyone living… DOWNWIND.
DOWNWIND also includes the inspirational, real stories of prominent “downwinders” who live in the path of radioactive fallout including Claudia Peterson (from St. George), Mary Dickson and Ian Zabarte, Principle Man of the Western Bands of the Shoshone Nation of Indians. Roughly the size of the state of Rhode Island, the Nevada Test Site sits on Shoshone land, by treaty, yet it still remains occupied, restricted — and operational.
