“If secrecy is unimaginable, if nuclear waste is so utterly out of our perceptual range, they vanish from our national awareness.” After their 2008 film Secrecy—on government secrets—Peter Galison and Robb Moss ventured into another realm of the “unseeable.” Here they discuss Containment, a look at hazardous waste that took them to nuclear facilities in South Carolina, New Mexico, and Fukushima, Japan.

The film Containment’s call to action is to find a way to dispose of nuclear waste properly. The only way to currently “dispose” of waste is to bury it or let it just sit somewhere until it is inactivate.  Containment draws you into the film and makes you want to stand up and do something about the issue.  They discuss ways to help this problem of nuclear waste and how we might be able to help with it in the future.   The stylistic techniques that the directer uses in the film are animation to show what the world will look like in thousands of years when we discover the forgotten about nuclear waste facilities and similar situations.  No, I would not have sued any other stylistic techniques because I thought that the animations and music he used was very fitting for the topic.

The Same River Twice (2003) 1h 17min A documentary by Robb Moss, described by the Sundance Channel as follows: “in 1978, filmmaker Robb Moss joined 16 free-spirited friends for a month-long rafting trip down the Colorado River. The excursion was captured in a short film, Riverdogs, a visual celebration of naked, exuberant youth set against the spectacular vistas of the Grand Canyon. Now, a quarter-century later, Moss tracks down five of his old comrades for a witty and insightful now-and-then portrait to see how they have fared after coping with children, careers, responsibilities, ageing and changing attitudes.” Two of the five are Jeff Golden and Cathy Shaw, shown in the 1970s as a young couple in love, and then in 2000, divorced with two children.
