Hot Water (2016) (NR)

synopsis

After arriving in South Dakota to follow a story on Uranium contamination, the filmmakers discover that the problem flows much farther than they imagined. Our nuclear legacy began with Uranium. From ‘Fat Man' and ‘Little Boy' to ‘Duck and Cover' we believed it was safe to eat, drink and breathe in the shadow of the Atomic Bomb. The subsequent health and environmental damage will take generations, and in some cases thousands of years to heal. Our ground water, wells, drinking water, air and soil are contaminated with some of the most toxic heavy metals known to man - and yet we still have no firm plan in place for the storage of tons of nuclear materials we produce every year.
