Begins with a news clip from Utah, January 2012. The Downwinders are meeting for the first Day of Remembrance and mourn the many who died from fallout from bombs exploded at the Nevada Test Site. They are the living and dying proof of the dangers of radiation.
Dr. John Gofman was one of the prominent whistle blowers of the nuclear age. He was the first to warn of the danger and call for the shut-down of all nuclear power plants as early as 1970.

He is the 1992 recipient of the Right Livelihood Award. He died in 2007.
