Nuclear Redemption
The film "Uranium Drive in" by Suzan Beraza is a haunting story of a hardscrabble community striving for one last chance at survival. The film follows a proposed uranium mill in southwestern Colorado-the first to be built in the U.S. in 30 years-and the emotional debate pitting a population desperate for jobs and financial stability against opposition from an environmental group based in a nearby resort town.
I found that the film director took a leap of faith using the approach they did. While watching the film not once did I feel it was leaning towards one opinion over the other. There was an equal amount of opinions from each side of the groups rather than a feeling of bias, and in a way it made it so you could make your own opinion rather then being persuaded by the film. I thought this was a great idea and paid off in the end. You do not see many films like this take that approach.
