4/5

Perfect chaser for "Oppenheimer." The US exploded 928 test bombs in Nevada. The entire world now consists of humans who are downwinders (downwind from atomic fall-out). Start practicing qigong to combat radiation exposure instead of hiding your desk.

4.5/5

There’s such a huge story here that it’s astonishing that it hasn’t been put on film before.

3/5

The directors Mark Shapiro and Douglas Brian Miller put together a very interesting, thought provoking, and at times frustrating look at the impact nuclear testing has had and continues to have on US citizens.

6/10

Martin Sheen‘s narration helps link the pieces of the story while Michael Douglas and Lewis Black deliver common sense testimonies based on their works. However, the stories from residents in Utah are particularly affecting.

10/10

Finally, a film that indicts the U.S. government for the arguably criminal acts of detonating 928 nuclear bombs on American soil for 40 years, killing legions of Americans and the lies it told to justify it. This is a heartbreaking movie not to be missed.
