Love UraniumFree Virginia comments: "“Hot Water” follows the history of mining projects in several western locations: the Badlands of South Dakota, Nebraska, Colorado, Utah and southern California. Each time, the film suggests, nearby residents were exposed to contaminated drinking water, and “Hot Water” explores at length the consequences — including the heightened risks of thyroid cancer, brain tumors and physical deformities. In addition to posing direct risks to humans, radioactive contamination has seeped into the grassland environment of the West, threatening the region’s livestock industry. The film is rife with images of the majestic Rocky Mountain and Great Plains, which punctuates the filmmakers’ theme of environmental degradation from mining."
