Paul Jacobs and the Nuclear Gang plot

This documentary is the portrait of journalist Paul Jacobs who spent twenty years intensively investigating the fallout consequences of the nuclear explosions in the 1950s in the Nevada desert. Attention is not only focused on the consequences for the population living in the vicinity, but also on the soldiers who acted as guinea pigs. Before his film was really finished, the director himself died of cancer, a fate suffered by many interviewees from this film.
