|
Dark Circle rounds up government footage from the early part of the Atomic Age to pepper interviews mostly from the late 70’s/early 80’s regarding the Rocky Flats Plutonium plant in Colorado. This newly restored version of that 1982 Documentary is just as relevant and important. I thought I new a lot about the subject, but despite having visited Hiroshima and Nagasaki, I learned a great deal from this doc. The current Corona Virus Pandemic could be a flash in the pan compared to the silent potential disaster we’ve created and stored away, ready to wake up at any moment. I new we had a lot of nuclear warheads in the world: maybe hundreds, I hoped not thousands. But according to this film .. it’s in the tens of thousands. While not uplifting, Dark Circle engages at every turn. In hopes that they might find future solutions, it’s important to educate our younger generations on the manmade dangers facing humankind and this lovely planet, sadly perhaps nuclear stockpiles tops that list. |
