Investigates Africa’s push for nuclear energy, exposing environmental risks, lobbying by nuclear corporations, and impacts on human rights.
Africa's development is being held back by poor infrastructure and undersized power plants. Countries like Uganda can only produce only 1/4 of the energy needed, leading to daily power cuts with disastrous economic impacts. It's a golden opportunity for nuclear giants who lobby aggressively for more power plants in Africa. The documentary reveals the plans of African Governments to go nuclear, the companies behind these plans and the implications for the environment, human rights and civil society.
