Arid Lands
April 12, 2007
Arid Lands takes us into a world of sports fishermen, tattoo artists, housing developers, ecologists, and radiation scientists living and working near the Hanford nuclear site in southeastern Washington state. Sixty years ago, Hanford produced plutonium for the atomic bomb dropped on Nagasaki, and today the area is the focus of the largest environmental cleanup in history. Arid Lands tells the story of how people changed the landscape over time, and how the landscape affected their lives.
Arid Lands was produced by Minnesota filmmakers Grant Aaker & Josh Wallaert. The film makes its Midwestern debut at The Bell Auditorium. Thursday, April 12, 7 pm. 10 Church St. SE Minneapolis. Followed by a panel discussion with co-director Josh Wallaert and University of Minnesota geographers Bruce Braun and George Henderson. Tickets $5 and $7 at the door.

Do you know if ARID LANDS is going to be around and about? Can we see it in Rapid City? It looks like it was done in a really good way.

Hi Milt, No Rapid City plans at the moment, but you can watch the website for upcoming screenings. We'll be on DVD this summer. www.sidelongfilms.com
