Coming to Portland in its 13th year, the International Uranium Film Festival is dedicated to films about nuclear power and weapons; nuclear victims and environmental justice; and the risks of radioactivity, from uranium mining to nuclear waste. From Hiroshima, the Manhattan Project, Fukushima and everything in between, where Oppenheimer dared not go, these films throw much-needed light on all nuclear issues, past, present and future. Local sponsors are the Economic Action Group of the First Unitarian Church, Oregon Conservancy Foundation, and Alliance for Democracy.
