Film Screening and Director Q+A May 31st at 9:00am

The powerful documentary SILENT FALLOUT sheds light on a harrowing chapter of history that has long remained in the shadows. Directed by acclaimed filmmaker Hideaki Ito, the film tells the extraordinary true story of how women and children—with nothing but baby teeth—helped expose the devastating eff ects of nuclear testing and ultimately led to a historic change in U.S. policy.

At the height of the Cold War, the U.S. conducted over 100 atmospheric nuclear tests, spreading radioactive contamination across North America. Fallout infiltrated the food supply, exposing millions—including children—to harmful radiation. SILENT FALLOUT follows the courageous women who refused to stay silent. Their groundbreaking research on baby teeth collected from 320,000 children proved the extent of radiation exposure, forcing the U.S. government to confront the consequences of nuclear testing.

With narration by Alec Baldwin this eye-opening documentary presents never-before-seen archival footage, firsthand testimonies, and declassified government documents.
