Atomic Homefront
Streaming video - 2018
This documentary shines an urgent and devastating light on the lasting toxic effects that nuclear waste can have on communities. The film reveals St. Louis, Missouri's past as a uranium processing center for the atomic bomb, and the governmental and corporate negligence that lead to the illegal dumping of radioactive Manhattan Project waste throughout North County neighborhoods. Focusing on a group of moms-turned-advocates, the film follows the women as they confront the EPA, government agencies that are slow to provide aid, and the corporations behind the illegal dumping of dangerous radioactive waste in their backyards. ATOMIC HOMEFRONT is essential viewing for anyone interested in environmental grassroots activism, government and co...rporate responsibility, and the effects of nuclear waste on human health. Winner of the Best Documentary Award at the **Impact Docs Awards.** "*...both a fiery indictment of systemic inaction and a tribute to the work of those battling for their families' safety.*" - Kimber Myers, ***The Los Angeles Times***
