“Into Eternity” is an award-winning documentary that explores the complexity and long-term implications of nuclear waste storage. The UK’s Daily Mail called it a “hauntingly cool documentary.” The movie gives an in-depth look at the world’s first permanent nuclear repository, a massive underground storage facility currently under construction in Finland.
The movie starts in the Capital Area District Library auditorium, 401 S. Capitol, Lansing, Michigan, at 7 p.m. and runs 72 minutes. The event is free and open to the public.
Special guest Kevin Kamps of Beyond Nuclear and board member of Don’t Waste Michigan will be on hand after the movie for a community discussion on nuclear waste issues. Anyone interested in the environment is not going to want to miss this engaging and educational evening.
More about the movie:
“Jaw-dropping! Tackles a subject almost beyond comprehension. One of the most extraordinary factual films to be shown this year. (Director) Madsen’s film does not merely ask tough questions about the implications of nuclear energy…but about how we, as a race, conceive our own future. This is nothing less than post-human architecture we are talking about. Why isn’t every government, every philosopher, every theologian, everywhere in the world discussing Onkalo and its implications? I don’t know, but they should see this film.” - Peter Bradshaw, Guardian (UK)
