Subtitle: A National Sacrifice Area?
59 minutes/Grades 9-Adult
Produced by Christopher McLeod, Glenn Switkes, and Randy Hayes
This renowned student Academy Award-winning documentary
examines the social, cultural, and environmental impact of energy
development in the Southwest. The film takes its title from a
National Academy of Sciences report which concluded that strip-
mining in the fragile arid environment could permanently damage
the land resulting in "national sacrifice areas." The film
explores the hidden cost of uranium mining and milling, coal
stripmining, and synthetic fuels development in the "Golden Circle
of National Parks" -- the homeland of Hopi, Navajo, and Mormon
cultures. With Study Guide.
