Movie & Discussion: Downwind In-Person
Join us the 3rd Tuesday of each month for a movie and a group discussion! In July, we're showing Downwind.
Hiroshima. Nagasaki. Mercury, Nevada? The latter was the site for the testing of 928 large-scale nuclear weapons from 1951 to 1992. Martin Sheen narrates this harrowing exposé of the United States government's disregard for those living downwind who were affected by radioactive fallout, including members of the Shoshone Nation.
