Since the early days of the atomic age, Canada uranium has fueled the US military's nuclear agenda, supplying fissionable fuel for the secret Manhattan Project, uranium from the North West Territories was used in the 'Little Boy" atomic bomb that killed hundreds of thousands of civilians of Hiroshima Japan.  It is likely that the plutonium used in the "Fat Man" bomb that destroyed the city of Nagasaki Japan came through the Chalk River Ontario supply route as it was built for the purpose of supplying plutonium for US weapons.

 

CRITICAL MASS is a documentary film which exposes Saskatchewan as a secret supplier for the US and French nuclear weapons arsenals, as well as a partner in depleted uranium weapons, used on modern battlefields throughout the middle east. The Radioactive dust and decay left in Iraq and Afghanistan is a part of Saskatchewan's nuclear legacy.

 

CRITICAL MASS is a feature documentary film that examines our past implications and our present dilemma of an unrestrained uranium industry pushing for whole sale expansion of their industry.  This film centers on a uranium partnership panel (presented as EXPERT PANEL ON ALTERNATIVE ENERGY) and the largest ever public consultations on the uranium industry.

 

CRITICAL MASS shows just what the province thinks about expanding the industry and gives the viewer an inside look at the promotional campaign waged against the citizens of Saskatchewan which they call "the 3rd dimension".
