Film on the Future of Nuclear Waste

Containment, free and open to the public.

Monday, April 25, 2016 - 3:30pm
Whitney Humanities Center, 53 Wall Street
 
Can we contain some of the deadliest, most long-lasting substances ever produced?  Left over from the Cold War are a hundred million gallons of radioactive sludge, covering vast radioactive lands.  Governments around the world, desperate to protect future generations, have begun imagining society 10,000 years from now in order to create monuments that will speak across the time.  Part observational essay filmed in weapons plants, Fukushima and deep underground—and part graphic novel—Containment weaves between an uneasy present and an imaginative, troubled far future, exploring the idea that over millennia, nothing stays put.

Film screening will be followed by a discussion with the directors of this documentary.  For more information about this remarkable film, please visit the official site.
