Nevada is the most 'nuked' spot on the planet. The state of Nevada has been the site of 928 atomic tests, where nuclear testing has left its mark on both humans and the environment. The US government has been slow in releasing detailed information on the tests and their aftermath. In this film, we travel to Nevada with a former cameraman who worked for the US military, unshielded against the fallout, filming nuclear tests. He refutes the connection between his nuclear exposure and his cancer. We also talk to people who believe their suffering is the long-term effect of the nuclear arms race.
