Timed to coincide with the 80th anniversary of the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the film Silent Fallout delves into the devastating impacts of radio-active fallout in the U.S. 101 above-ground tests conducted in Nevada in the 1950s and 1960s contaminated the entire country. 67 nuclear tests were also performed in the Marshall Islands in the Pacific. People suffered acute and long-term health effects from radioactive fallout, including increased cancer rates and other illnesses, while the Atomic Energy Commission publicly denied any such health risks. The post-screening discussion will be led by the film’s director, Hideaki Ito.
