[ RadSafe ] Documentary “Atomic Homefront” delves into St. Louis-area radioactive landfill – nuclear weapons before people

While it takes an emotional stance, it is factual to my understanding.

Wonder how much of this documentary is fact and how much is not.  If there
are any St Louis people here, feel free to comment.

Thanks.

*‘Atomic Homefront’ unboxes the cruel consequences of Missouri’s
radioactive landfill, **The Daily Dot Kahron Spearman
<https://www.dailydot.com/author/kahron-spearman/>—Feb 18 *
 Director Rebecca Cammisa’s intense documentary, *Atomic Homefront*, is a
profoundly emotive dive into the unintended outgrowths of the atomic age.

The film takes a human look into a St. Louis-area radioactive landfill that
dates back to the Manhattan Project. Cammisa runs down the intertwining and
harrowing paths of Bridgeton, Missouri, residents, and those living near
the Coldwater Creek floodplain, which flows downstream from the nuclear
landfill........

Because there isn’t any official evidence—or any that the government will
admit to—supporting a causal relationship between the radiation and the
extraordinary rates of various cancers, pulmonary di - wepons before
peopleseases, and multiple sclerosis, the residents exist on a shifting
plate, tottering white-hot anger and unparalleled astonishment toward the
federal authorities. The film is well-researched given that there’s an
open, yet silent antagonism toward those seeking purpose by pushing back on
the government’s “science” about the radiation exposure. .....

In the end, the critical takeaway remains the government’s dark submission
to weapons. The human impact in the film is maddening and undeniable,
begging for some exploration into the awful self-evidence of our defense
apparatus: *We need these weapons, so whatever collateral damage arises is
for the good of the country. Yes, even your cancer.*

Consider the cruel irony in the careless dumping and mismanagement of
radioactive waste, virtually turning the West Lake Landfill into an ongoing
dirty bomb.....https://www.dailydot.com/upstream/atomic-homefront-
