"Downwind" on Amazon Login/Join

Watched an interesting movie / documentary on Amazon over the weekend, titled "Downwind". It tells the story of the aftereffects of nuclear tests by the US gubment at the Nevada Test Range. Sure, it has a bit of an anti-nuke slant to it, but it also has a lot of factual information as well. As shown in other events throughout our history, we are just "lab rats" for the gubment.

I'll have to see this, living in SW Utah I have an interest in what happened. There is a very good book on this, "The Day We Bombed Utah" by John G. Fuller. there have been a couple of documentaries on PBS, too.

While making the movie "The Conqueror" the cast and crew was exposed to nuke dust. Cancer did in some of the crew years later. Some medical type claim heavy smoking caused the cancers, but others disagree.
