Ratings and reviews

Most of the people who live here in the greater Denver area have no idea what Rocky Flats was: one of the most dangerous man-made hazards on the face of the planet. And most of them are equally unaware that the main hazard, plutonium, still exists under the soil of an intentionally innocuous-sounding wildlife refuge. This movie is a grave reminder of what happens when you plant a problem with at 24,000+ year life span under everyone’s feet and can't build a sign that will last that long.
