A look at lives and landscapes bearing secrets and scars of the atomic/nuclear era, Hanford Reach is a reflection upon the complexity of individual and collective memory, and upon the enduring nature of denial. Excerpts from original first-person narratives are interspersed with photographs taken in and around Hanford Nuclear Reservation, some within territories long removed from public access. Source interviews include Hanford scientists, Native elders, displaced farmers, and others variously impacted. Art intertwines with cultural documentary and political history.--Glenna Cole Allee "Glenna Cole Allee"
