RADIATION STORIES
54 min; Tamil with English subtitles; 2010; India
Produced and directed by AMUDHAN R.P.
Lush green ambiance of Kanyakumari district, in southern India conceals the artificially created radioactive sand dunes and large number of radiation related deaths and illness.
Trucks carry around radioactive sand across villages and towns through out the day and night. Ponds, rivers, plants, trees, our crew and shooting equipment all can be possibly radioactive. Some call it natural radiation. Some call it man-made radiation. The film explores the impact of radiation in the day to day life of the villagers in Kanyakumari district.
