Atomic Proving Ground


I'm starting post-production work for my documentary "The Atomic Proving Ground." Interviews ring true and archival footage is staggering in its depiction of careless treatment lives.
My dedication of this film is to the soldiers and Native Americans who suffered from the Atomic Bomb Testing- such needless pain and affliction. The least I can do is bring their past to the forefront, I have only respect and admiration for the way they (for the most part) silently accepted their fate- yet it is important for America to realize their plight. If nothing else, I want the 1988 Congressional statement concerning Nuclear Weapons Testing burned into the American conscious:
“The greatest irony of our atmospheric nuclear testing program is that the only victims of U.S. nuclear arms since World War II have been our own people.”
