Dark Circle

The Bush Regime’s support of the nuclear power industry and its enthusiasm for battlefield nuclear weapons make this classic film a must-see. Winner of the Grand Prize at the Sundance Film Festival, recipient of a national Emmy Award for “Outstanding Individual Achievement in News & Documentary,” Dark Circle follows the trail of plutonium from the Rocky Flats Nuclear Weapons facility in Colorado, to the Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant in California, to Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan. Plutonium, the most toxic substance in the world, links these locations and the people whose lives are irrevocably changed by it.
