On 25th June 2012, Vikalp@Prithvi presents a documentary about a nuclear power station under construction in Tamil Nadu.

'Radiation Stories: Koodankulam'

80 min | 2012 | Tamil with English Subtitles

The people's movement against the Koodankulam nuclear plant is an over 20-year-old story. When the mainstream media muffles the voices from the ongoing people's struggle in Koodankulam, Amudhan R P breaks the silence and takes us to the villages at the centre of the resistance. Completed just before Section 144 was enforced in the area, the film presents rare footage from the protests.

The screening will be followed by a Q&A session with Amudhan, the director and producer of the film.

About Amudhan:

Born in 1971, Amudhan completed MA in Development Communication from Madurai Kamaraj University. He has been involved in various documentary-related activities such as making films, writing about documentary films and filmmakers in Tamil, and organising film screenings, video workshops and film festivals in Tamil Nadu.

Amudhan founded Madurai International Documentary and Short Film Festival in 1998 and has been co-ordinating the festival since then every year.

'Radiation Stories' is a series of films that Amudhan has been making since 2007 on nuclear issues. The first part is about monazite mining by Department of Atomic Energy in Manavalakurichi, Tamil Nadu and the second part is about various case studies of health hazards in and around Kalpakkam due to the nuclear power complex.

The film that Vikalp@Prithvi is showing is the third part in the series.

On Monday, 25 June, 7 pm

At Prithvi House, Opposite Prithvi Theatre, Janki Kutir, Juhu Church Road, Juhu, Bombay
