About this Event

After decades of working on their respective projects, authors and filmmakers will share their in-depth knowledge about the hidden health fallout from the atomic and nuclear industry. They will also discuss what we can do to save our earth.

Author and filmmaker JILL MURPHY LONG with her forthcoming book and feature film (of same title) of PLUTONIUM SKIES has organized this very timely forum with billionaires now getting into the nuclear industry. She has invited other authors and filmmakers to join her on Sunday, October 19, 2025, from 3:00 pm to 5:00 pm at the Bridgetown Conservatory of Musical Theatre located at 711 SW 14th Avenue in Portland, Oregon 97205.


Author TRISHA T. PRITIKIN will be flying in from San Francisco, California to screen her trailer for her new book, THEN CAME THE SUMMER SNOW, and will autograph her books for those who bring their copies. She will speak from personal experience of living next to Hanford where her father was a nuclear engineer and about her first book HANFORD PLAINTIFFS: VOICES FROM THE FIGHT FOR ATOMIC JUSTICE.


Portland-based filmmaker MARK SHAPIRO will discuss his documentary movie, DOWNWIND, which has won at eight film festivals and was nominated also at two others. This movie is a harrowing exposé of the United States’ blatant disregard for everyone living downwind after 928 atomic bombs were detonated in Nevada and the radioactive fallout that hit almost every state.


Joining the panel from the East Coast will be filmmaker WILLIAM NUNEZ, who will talk about his documentary movie, THE CONQUEROR:THE HOLLYWOOD FALLOUT. This is the shocking story of one of the great environmental disasters to befall the United States, and the terrible movie that help bring this catastrophe to light.


The screening will also include the concept trailer for the feature film, PLUTONIUM SKIES, and a cautionary short film MELTDOWN IN THE PACIFIC by filmmaker Jill Murphy Long.


A few other relevant short videos will be included to show how the nuclear industry has infiltrated our culture without setting off any alarming responses because they always say: “There has been no harm to public health and safety.”


From their personal and professional experiences, they will spotlight the dark truths about nuclear power including how the atomic industry rebranded itself to nuclear in the 1950s with the help of Walt Disney and ABC.


Experts, who lived too close to America’s most radioactive site, Hanford and Trojan Park also on our Columbia River, will reveal what local residents need to know about ionizing radiation.


They will also uncover the hidden health fallout from the atomic bomb testing in Nevada and from Three Mile Island, the world’s first meltdown at a nuclear power plant.


And not even Hollywood actors and crew were immunize from the fallout from the nuclear industry.


The host of this inspiring and compelling forum will be Portland Actor Scott Bernard Nelson.


Tickets can be purchased online for the suggested donation of $15.


Or with cash at the door.


Doors open at 2:45 pm to allow for guests to purchase snacks and beverages and “mix and mingle” with the authors and filmmakers during this time.


The general public including children are welcome.


A special thank you to Rick and Diego of Bridgetown Conservatory of Musical Theatre for making this forum possible.
