Uranium explores the consequences of uranium mining in Canada. Because of toxic and radioactive waste, there are profound, long-term environmental hazards associated with uranium mining. For miners who work at the sites, there is the substantially increased risk of getting cancer. And, because most of the mining to date has been on Indigneous People's land, uranium mining violates their traditional economic and spiritual lives. Given our limited knowledge of the risks associated with uranium mining, this film questions the validity of its continuation.
