[ Release Notes ]
Imagine that one morning you wake up to find out your next-door neighbour
may be a nuclear power plant.
There was a time when we thought atomic power would solve all our energy
needs. That promise lost its lustre in cost overruns, accidents and
cover-ups. Now after decades of fading into the background the nuclear
power industry is poised for a comeback. In Canada, and around the world,
the nuclear industry is rebranding itself as the only practical solution
to global warming.
This is a story of global importance it's also a very local story. It's
a tale of two small towns: one in rural Ontario that has been a centre of
nuclear power almost as long as there has been nuclear power. The other is
in the legendary Peace country of Northern Alberta, where residents woke
up one day to hear that Alberta's first nuclear power facility might be
moving in next door.
We travel with Lorraine Jensen and Brenda McSween from their farms in
Peace River, Alberta to Kincardine, Ontario searching for answers to
questions that are dividing their once harmonious community.
My Nuclear Neighbour is written and produced by Donna and Daniel
Zuckerbrot for Reel Time Images.
