Today at the International Uranium Film Festival in Las Vegas, Sunday, Nov. 23, 2025, "The Long Fight"
By Brenda Norrell, Censored News, Nov. 23, 2025
LAS VEGAS, Nevada -- The radioactive uranium mill and dump has been poisoning the White Mesa Ute community for 40 years in southeastern Utah.
Now, the radioactive uranium haul trucks travel from the Havasupai's ancestral land in the Grand Canyon, from the Pinyon Plain uranium mine to the White Mesa mill, and endanger everyone on the haul route in Flagstaff and the Navajo and Hopi Nations. The deadly trucks are covered only with tarps.
While the White Mesa Ute community struggles to shut down the uranium mill and dump, Energy Fuels is now bringing in radioactive waste from other countries.
The filmmaker said, "In southeastern Utah, just a few miles upstream of the White Mesa Ute Mountain Ute Tribal reservation, sits the last operating uranium mill in the United States. The Long Fight tells the story of one family's decades-long resistance to the mill and its toxic reign over their ancestral homeland."
The film is created in loving memory of Michael Badback
Today at 5 pm at Las Vegas Downtown Cinemas.
