Sixty years ago, the Hanford nuclear site produced plutonium for the atomic bomb dropped on Nagasaki. Today, the Columbia Basin is the focus of the largest environmental cleanup in history. Featuring two Central Washington University geographers, Morris Uebelacker and Robert Kuhlken, the award-winning documentary tells the story of people who changed the landscape over time, and the landscape that affected their lives.
