Campaign against nuclear waste dump. In the wake of the Mukaty victory against a nuclear waste dump on their land, Meret and Hilliary go on a grand tour of the 6 new proposed sites put up by the federal government (it will never give up defending the nuclear industry). The government is seeking for communities to take responsibility for its failure and that of the nuclear industry. Six communities say no to the federal government. Communities will speak with government when the nuclear industry stops making more waste.
