In the early 1980s, the U.S. government began building a nuclear waste burial vault within Yucca Mountain in the Nevada desert. This twenty-one-minute meditative portrait stretches to embrace laboratory reports, archival recordings and notions of deep time, end days, and rapture as viewed against the backdrop of this expansive landscape. Johnnie Bobb, chief of the Western Shoshone National Council, recounts how his people were pushed out of the land they once called home. Fred McMillen, a master mechanic at Yucca Mountain, talks about the toxic machinery used in the colossal attempts to entomb radioactivity deep in the land. The poisons are not only hidden within the mountain, they exist in those touched by the land and its past.  ST
