The Uranium Film Festival need your support!
Important independent films about nuclear energy, uranium weapons or uranium mining and nuclear waste need important film festivals like the Uranium Film Festival. And that festival needs your support to continue with its task. We will bring soon dozens of films about nuclear power plants, radioactive accidents, atomic bombs and uranium mining to about 7 cities in India in January 2013 and later we will have the 3rd International Uranium Film Festival next May in Rio de Janeiro. Independent information about nuclear power is important for any decision making. You are invited. But of course the independent festival need your support and donation.
