Required Materials 

DOCUMENTARY FILM
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' disregard for everyone living… downwind. Follow the narrative that examines the long-term health and environmental consequences from the tests conducted at the Nevada Test Site. The film highlights the suffering of communities downwind from the tests—particularly in St. George, Utah, and surrounding areas—where elevated cancer rates persist decades later.
