Narrated by Alec Baldwin.
SILENT FALLOUT tells the true story of a dedicated group of female physicians in the 1950s who uncovered the deadly impact of atomic bomb testing through baby teeth studies. Their research helped lead to the historic ban on atmospheric nuclear tests.
Divided into different chapters with titles like “Omens” and “Baby Teeth”, SILENT FALLOUT is comprised of interviews with several adults who grew up near the testing site in Nevada and have experienced inexplicable health problems starting from when they were small children.
In addition to all of the compelling eyewitness testimony, ample scientific evidence was also furnished by Louise Reiss, a physicist who spearheaded the famous Baby Tooth Survey, a nationwide study in which thousands of baby teeth were collected from all across the nation. Tests conducted on all of these teeth over the course of a decade demonstrated that levels of Strontium-90 were 50 times higher in children born after the advent of atomic testing compared with those born before it in 1950.
