Summary:

Chronicles the hopes and fears of the citizens of one small American town struggling to survive. The once robust rural mining community is caught in a battle to save itself from economic death by embracing a return to uranium mining and milling, even as health and environmental issues--a result of the last uranium boom--continue to haunt it. The film offers no easy answers but aims instead to capture personal stories and paint a portrait of the lives behind this nuanced and complex issue.
