Friday Night Movie: YELLOW FEVER

Issue TV presents:  YELLOW FEVER

The film, “Yellow Fever” follows Navajo Tina Garnanez, who returns from duty with the U.S. Army to
find her home on the Navajo Reservation a battleground for an ongoing nuclear war. She grew up with the legacy of radiation from uranium mining for the Cold War—losing 11 family members to cancer—so
she has serious concerns about plans to develop additional mines to meet the US demand for nuclear energy. But, having recently embraced photography to cope with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, Tina
approaches the issue with fresh eyes, identifying a distinct connection between conflicts in Kosovo and Iraq and her people’s struggle against the mining industry.
Following the film screening there will be a question and answer session.  EPA and other environmental health groups will speak to the public.
