Fallout

As community members in a rural Appalachian town become sick, the source of the contagion is called into question. Fallout follows three individuals experiencing illnesses after exposure to contamination from a nearby United States Army Ammunition Plant. Due to the open burning of waste, the facility is the largest polluter in Virginia emitting millions of pounds of toxic pollutants into the air, soil, and water each year. The film incorporates digital footage as well as over 1200 feet of 16mm film processed with contaminants from the facility.

There is a Q&A following the screening.
