Trespassing (2005)
An extraordinary film about political activism and a meditation on nuclear waste and it's cultural, social and political impact on our society.
Trespassing poetically examines our fight for survival. By focusing on the battle around nuclear storage in the Four- Corners area of the United States. DeMenezes carefully unpacks a deadly controversy around land rights, strip mining and the disposal of the worlds nuclear waste. Trespassing is an evocative meditation on the ability of a culture to bring itself to the brink of annihilation while simultaneously producing "gatekeepers" to combat that annihilation. This is a challenging and breathtakingly beautiful film that questions how we live our lives by evocatively examining a subject crucial to our survival as a species. Across a broad spectrum from Nagasaki survivors to Native American Tribal leaders this film offers an in depth and provocative examination of historical survival and struggle designed to impact the present generation and alter a deadly course of action.
