DARK CIRCLE focuses on the connection between nuclear energy and nuclear power. Interviews with people living next to the Rocky Flats Nuclear Weapons Plant and radiation victims from both WWII Japan and America’s bomb-testing provide personal perspectives on the issues involved. A Nagasaki survivor recalls, “I found myself hating not only the war itself, but all the parents who had not opposed it.”

“Impressive access to the inner workings of the Rocky Flats plant. The real story they’re pursuing takes place a few miles downwind, to a planned community where middle-class families learn the air, water and soil surrounding them is contaminated by astonishingly high levels of plutonium particles.

The drama is intense and heartbreaking, no more so than when a particularly outspoken activist visibly implodes with guilt over selling her tainted home to an unsuspecting family so she can get her own kids out of the danger zone.” – Tom Keogh, The Seattle Times.
