Atomic Coverup - the Hidden History Behind the U.S. Bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki
Atomic Cover-Up is the first documentary to explore the 1945 bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki from the unique perspective of the camera crews who risked their lives filming in the irradiated aftermath. Initially started by a Japanese newsreel crew, and then continued under the supervision of the US Army, this documentary reveals how their footage was seized, classified top secret, and then buried by American officials for decades in order to hide the full human cost of the bombings as a costly nuclear arms race began.

Atomic Bamboozle – The False Promise of a Nuclear Renaissance
"Atomic Bamboozle: The False Promise of a Nuclear Renaissance" follows anti-nuclear activists, tribal leaders, scientists and attorneys as they draw lessons from the decades-long campaign to shut down the Trojan Nuclear Power plant along the Columbia River in Oregon and extend those lessons into a new struggle to stop small modular nuclear reactors (SMRs) from being built in the Pacific Northwest and elsewhere in the country. The film revisits the toxic legacy of the Hanford Nuclear Reservation and its impacts on tribal communities and exposes the true costs of SMR designs that have been aggressively promoted by the US Department of Energy and the nuclear industry in response to the climate crisis.

Demon Mineral
Demon Mineral can be considered an anti-Western, flipping the classical cinematic paradigm by centering the voices and experiences of the Diné community to explore the legacy of uranium mining in Diné Bikeyah, the sacred homelands of the Navajo where over 500 unremediated mines are scattered across an area the size of West Virginia.
In the span of just four generations entire ways of living have been lost or severely compromised, as mining has contaminated the air, water, livestock, and land upon which the community relies for its existence. The film also celebrates the actions the Diné community is taking to fight against new mines and improve life in an irradiated ecosystem which has resulted in a sharp rise in cancer, kidney failure, and other diseases.
