Arid Lands
Northwest Film Forum
Seattle, WA
(Grant Aaker, Josh Wallaert, USA, 2007, DigiBeta, 98 min)
In the 1940s, the Columbia Basin in Southeastern Washington was the site of plutonium production, an ingredient in the atomic bomb that would devastate Nagasaki and Hiroshima. Today it is a place of conflict and contradiction, as the natural landscape and human population strive to recover from that past. Arid Lands offers an enthralling look into the many clashing opinions and perspectives that have emerged in this complex community. Yakama Indians, farmers, housing developers, environmental activists and radiation scientists all share their thoughts in this revealing documentary about the largest environmental clean up site in the world. Winner, "Best Film" at the 2008 Local Sightings Film Festival.
Note: Seating is guaranteed up to 10 minutes prior to showtime.
