"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
