Bending to Earth

The radioactive waste sites used by nuclear power plants are like time capsules that remain eroded into the countryside for hundreds, maybe thousands of years, like a monumental, everlasting reminder of our civilization. Working with an original and distinctive poetic, the film draws attention to the relationship of these heterogeneous elements to the sprawling, majestic landscape – a relationship we may well have initiated but whose dynamic stretches far beyond our short lives.
