Nuclear Free Takoma Park Committee Spring Film and Discussion Series

Auditorium - City of Takoma Park 7500 Maple Avenue, Takoma Park, MD, United States

Paul Jacobs A poignant and potent political documentary that exposes the government's suppression of the health hazards of low-level radiation. Paul Jacobs is himself a victim of lung cancer, that would kill him before this picture was finished and which his doctors believe he contracted while he was investigating nuclear policies in 1957. He interviews civilians and soldiers, survivors of nuclear experiments in the 50s and 60s, testing the effects of radiation. By the time this film was made, a lot of them had died from the radiation.

A poignant and potent documentary that exposes the government's suppression of the health hazards of low-level radiation -- even more relevant since the release of radiation from damaged nuclear plants in Japan, and reports that long-term effects of the Chernobyl disaster may have been covered up.
