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.
