Sommario/riassunto |
|
Fallout' is the true story of a celebrated Australian scientist's involvement in the 1956 British atomic bomb tests. Contrary to official pronouncements, radioactive fallout was blowing across the country, contaminating towns and communities, including Adelaide. Cross tells a story that makes us ask the alarming question: could we be fooled again? |
