Speaking of thought-provoking and highly entertaining documentaries…

Can saunas actually improve your health? Is it science or just hot air?

We are excited to share that has announced Andrew Nisker’s NUKED as the winner of the Best Feature Documentary Award!! 🏆

Thank you to everyone involved in making this important film!

Today, March 1, is Remembrance Day in the Marshall Islands.

It is a day dedicated to honouring the victims and survivors of the nuclear tests that occurred there during the 1950s.

Today, we ask you to join us in supporting the Marshallese people on their official day of remembrance.

What can you do to be an ally to the cause? One way is to write to your congressperson in support of renewing agreements with Pacific allies. Another way is to reduce your carbon footprint. Climate change and rising sea levels threatens the very existence of the islands.

During an awards season where Oppenheimer has resurrected discussions around nuclear weapons testing, it’s important to look at the other side of the equation and see and hear the human effects of nuclear testing.

This is exactly what our feature documentary NUKED was made for - so that people can hear the perspectives of the indigenous people of Bikini Atoll affected by the nuclear bomb tests conducted by the US government, specifically following the aftermath of Project Crossroads and the multi-generational existential trauma.

NUKED is currently on the North American leg of the International Uranium Film Festival tour.

Thank you for the Award of Excellence for Nuked! 🏆
