Screened at Sundance, THE ATOMIC STATES OF AMERICA journeys to nuclear reactor communities around the country to provide a comprehensive exploration of the history and impact of nuclear power to date, and to investigate the truths and myths about nuclear energy.

The film raises profound questions about the safety, viability and future of nuclear power in the United States -- casting substantial doubt that more promises about the potential for nuclear power, as raised in "Pandora's Promise", are largely unrealistic fantasies.

A film by Don Argott and Sheena Joyce

REVIEWS

"Potent, emotionally powerful, and highly revealing, …does an outstanding job of opening our eyes to the reality of nuclear power. The Atomic States of America convincingly encapsulates both the history of this allegedly clean source of energy and our collective denial of a potentially looming disaster at our aging sites.” –Sundance Film Festival

“A stimulating, well-made piece. A sobering documentary about the dangers of nuclear reactors and a downsized Nuclear Regulatory Commission.”–Hollywood Reporter

"Recommended. The Atomic States of America does a good job of introducing this difficult and extremely complex topic to the general public."– Science Books and Films (AAAS)

Official Selection, Sundance Film Festival
