Film Screening: Nuclear Savage and Sandwars

Friday, January 12th at 5:30pm FVIM Screening Room | D1375

Please join us for a screening of two films, Nuclear Savage and Sandwars, in conjunction with our exhibition The Pacific.

Nuclear Savage (2012) | 87 minutes Written and directed by Adam Jonas Horowitz. He shot his first film in the Marshall Islands in 1986, and was shocked by what he found there, in this former American military colony in middle of the Pacific Ocean. Radioactive coconuts, leaking nuclear waste repositories, and densely populated slums were all the direct result of 67 Cold War U.S. nuclear bomb tests that vaporized islands and devastated entire populations.
