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.

'Barred' from Port Hope: An interview with Dr. Helen Caldicott
Renowned Australian physician and anti-nuclear activist Dr. Helen Caldicott has for four decades lectured around the world about the medical dangers inherent in the use of radioactive materials for nuclear energy and weapons. Her work was captured in the 1982 National Film Board of Canada short documentary, If You Love This Planet, which won an Oscar.
Last November, Dr. Caldicott was due to speak in Port Hope, Ont., when she found herself persona non grata there. Cameco, a producer of uranium fuel for nuclear power plants around the world, is a major employer in this town of 16,000 on Lake Ontario.
Dr. Caldicott explains what happened to rabble's news editor Cathryn Atkinson.
