DON'T NUKE T.O. presents:
INTO ETERNITY is an award-winning documentary about the ongoing effort to build one of the world's first permanent repositories for nuclear waste in Finland. Directed by Michael Madsen, the film is a visually stunning account of the immense uncertainties of trying to build a multi-generational underground site, capable of storing hazardous nuclear waste for 100 000 years.
As Canadian officials actively attempt to find a permanent home for tens of thousands of tonnes of Canadian nuclear waste, INTO ETERNITY is particularly relevant film in a Canadian context.
