8 d. ago Among the Palms the Bomb review – the enviromental scars left behind by the US’s atom

This striking documentary is an oral history of the impact, particularly on Indigenous Americans, of 20th-century military projects in California and UtahThe culmination of a seven-year research project, Lukas Marxt and Vanja Smiljanić’s striking, exhaustive film examines the lasting impact of 20th-century military projects on the US landscape.
