Hiroshima. Nagasaki. Mercury, Nevada? The latter was the site for the testing of 928 nuclear weapons on American soil from 1951 to 1992. The fallout is still lethally impacting Americans today. Martin Sheen narrates this harrowing exposé of the United States’ disregard for everyone living… DOWNWIND.
One of this year’s original Oscar-qualifiers, DOWNWIND has won several awards on the festival circuit.
In the wake of Oppenheimer, DOWNWIND exposes the United States Government’s 928 nuclear detonations from 1951-1992 at the Nevada Test Site and the ongoing impact of radioactive fallout on countless communities — and the environment.
DOWNWIND features two-time Oscar-winner Michael Douglas, political satirist Lewis Black and is narrated by iconic anti-nuclear activist Martin Sheen. Actor Matthew Modine is our executive producer.
DOWNWIND also includes the inspirational, real stories of prominent “downwinders” who live in the path of radioactive fallout including Claudia Peterson (from St. George), Mary Dickson and Ian Zabarte, Principle Man of the Western Bands of the Shoshone Nation of Indians. Roughly the size of the state of Rhode Island, the Nevada Test Site sits on Shoshone land, by treaty, yet it still remains occupied, restricted — and operational.
Of DOWNWIND, critic Leonard Maltin wrote: “I urge you to check out Downwind. It’s a compelling and sobering documentary.”
