Silent Fallout film viewing with Dr. Luke Ritter In-Person
From SilentFalloutProject: "Between 1951 and 1963, the United States conducted nearly 100 atmospheric nuclear tests. These tests contaminated the entire North American continent with radioactive fallout, exposing children across the country who drank contaminated milk. The actions of women who stood up and spoke out moved President Kennedy, ultimately leading to a ban on atmospheric nuclear testing. Had the 828 underground nuclear tests conducted within the United States been carried out above ground, North America might have become a land of death. This is a miraculous true story of how women and children who lost their baby teeth saved the North American continent from radiation."
On the 81st anniversary of the first nuclear test, we are featuring the award-winning documentary Silent Fallout, narrated by Alec Baldwin, and followed by a Q&A with Dr. Luke Ritter, who appeared in the film.
