13-18 September – free films on radiological accident in Brazil

 The International Uranium Film Festival in Rio de Janeiro remembers the
worst radiological accident in Latin America that took place in September
1987 in the city of Goiânia in central Brazil. From September 13th to
19th, 2021, the festival will show online and free of charge eight
documentaries and movies about this accident caused by the release of
highly radioactive Cesium-137. Above all, the festival wants to give the
„nuclear“ victims of the cesium accident a voice so that they are not
forgotten. In addition an online meeting with one of the surviving
radiation victims, Odesson Alves Ferreira, brazilian filmmakers and a
scientist in radiobiology marks the opening of this virtual film event that
is supported by the Cinematheque of Rio’s Modern Art Museum (MAM Rio).
