Program Details

 

Join us for a free screening of Uranium Derby, a feature-length documentary about the role of Ames in the American nuclear experiment.

The story, centered in Ames, Iowa, begins with a curious native filmmaker (Brittany Prater) casually looking into her hometown’s highly secretive involvement in the Manhattan Project during the 1940s. Her investigation into this history triggers a chain reaction of encounters through which it becomes clear that the topic of nuclear waste has been more successfully buried than the waste itself.
