2025 #UraniumFilmFestival - THE VOW FROM #HIROSHIMA

USA, 2021, Director & Producer Susan Strickler, Writer & Producer Mitchie Takeuchi, Documentary, English, 82 min.

"The Vow From Hiroshima is an intimate portrait of #SetsukoThurlow, a passionate survivor of the #AtomicBomb in Hiroshima. She was 13 years old when the atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima in 1945. Her moving story is told through the lens of her growing friendship with a second-generation survivor, #MitchieTakeuchi. Setsuko was miraculously pulled out of a fiery building after the bomb was dropped and unable to save her other 27 classmates who were burned to death alive. That experience shaped her life forever and she endeavored to keep a pledge she made to her friends - that no one should ever again experience the same horrible fate. The film follows Setsuko through her decades of activism up to the current moment when she finally achieves her dream of a Nuclear Weapons Ban Treaty."

#DemonMineral:

"A penetrating look at the #radioactive desert of the #NavajoNation suffering from the effects of decades of #UraniumMining, Demon Mineral paints a devastating portrait of #bureaucratic inaction and its long- term impact on human life. This fascinating documentary, directed by Hadley Austin and produced by Dr. #TommyRock, #Dine', employs an array of well-sourced scientific data, coupled with archival and on-the-ground footage, to bring into vivid focus the heartbreaking toll of omnipresent #radiation on the #Arizona, #NewMexico, and #Utah Indigenous population. With few avenues available to offset their suffering — compounded by sustained apathy from politicians who might be able to help — a group of #Indigenous scientists, elders, and #activists strive to reclaim Diné #Bikeyah, the sacred land of the Navajo, and gain compensation for their contaminated lands. The illuminating 'Demon Mineral' is an essential vehicle for those directly impacted by this dire situation to draw attention to their plight." — Zaki Hasan

2025 #UraniumFilmFestival - If the silence could be broken

USA, 2025, Directed by Guy Morgan, Documentary, 77 min., English & Navajo.

"The United nation calls the genocide. We call it every day life. The film follows a small group of Dine’/Navajo families, fighting to hold onto their land, heritage and beliefs. This… is their story. Their voices... seen through their eyes. A window into the past is also a look into all our futures. Their struggle... is our struggle, as the world faces ‘Global #ClimateChange, #CorporateGreed and #GovernmentInaction."
