Event Description

“Nuclear Savage” - initially released in 2011 - presented by the First Tuesday Social Justice Films – will be shown free of charge. Refreshments provided.  Audience discussion follows.

The Marshall Islands, a tiny collection of Pacific Ocean atolls, was a nuclear testing ground for the United States.  The film documents the Pacific Islanders struggle for survival, dignity and justice after decades of human radiation experiments conducted by the U.S. government.

The film won festival awards in Paris, Chicago and Mexico City. Refreshments are provided.  Audience discussion follows.

“ ‘Nuclear Savage’ . . . explores American nuclear weapons testing in the Marshall Islands, 1946-1958, and particularly the secret Project 4.1: an American experiment in exposing Pacific Islanders to overdoses of radiation -- deliberate human radiation poisoning -- just to get better data on this method of maiming and killing people. . . .

“Filmmaker Adam Jonas Horowitz spent 25 years collecting material -- including original footage, archival clips, and unpublished secret documents -- to create this unforgettable and ironic portrait of American cynicism, arrogance, and racism. Winner of festival awards in Paris, Chicago and Mexico City."  http://www.opednews.com/articles/Nuclear-Savage-by-William-Boardman-Broadcasting_Navy_Nuclear-Arms-Race_Nuclear-Attack-140110-941.html

Pacific Islanders in Communications summarizes the film this way: "Some use the term "savage' to refer to people from primitive cultures, but nuclear experimentation pushed savagery to new levels. In the 1950s, the U.S. conducted 67 atomic and hydrogen bomb tests in the Marshall Islands, vaporizing islands and exposing entire populations to fallout. The islanders on Rongelap received near fatal doses of radiation from one test, and were then moved onto a highly contaminated island to serve as human guinea pigs for 30 years. Filmmaker Adam Jonas Horowitz spent 25 years collecting material -- including original footage, archival clips, and unpublished secret documents -- to create this unforgettable and ironic portrait of American cynicism, arrogance, and racism.”

Each month, First Tuesday Social Justice Films hosts free, public screenings of socially relevant films followed by audience talk back. The films are co-sponsored by the UUCOC’s Social Justice Ministry and the Dallas Peace Center  http://dallaspeacecenter.org.  For more information and schedules, visit the website at http://www.firsttuesdayfilms.org/index.shtml
