LAS VEGAS -- The International Uranium Film Festival is touring North America with stops in the USA and Canada of films beyond Oppenheimer that provide witness and understanding of what happened to real people since the beginning of the nuclear age, the start of the Anthropocene, where human activity is the dominant influence on the environment, since Trinity, the first nuclear weapon test.

The Native Community Action Council is hosting the final North America stop of the film festival, at the Beverly Theater in downtown Las Vegas, on April 30 and May 1, 2024. Eleven films are slated including DOWNWIND, NUKED and Demon Mineral.
