US-Filmmaker Bill Keisling received last week the best feature film award of the 2nd International Uranium Film Festival of Rio de Janeiro 2012 for his documentary “Not for Public Release: a Nuclear Incident in Lock Haven” about an abandoned Pentagon nuclear waste side.
Bill Keisling is author of more than a dozen books of fiction and nonfiction. His essays, investigative writings, and short stories have appeared in diverse magazines and journals including The North American Review, Rolling Stone, and The Progressive magazines. He was awarded a National Endowment for the Arts fellowship for his novel The Meltdown. The introduction to his first nonfiction book, Three Mile Island: Turning Point, was written by R. Buckminster Fuller.
Keisling grew up in close proximity to the Pennsylvania governor’s office, and the Pennsylvania Office of Attorney General. He has published several books on corruption in Pennsylvania government and the attorney general’s office, including The Sins of Our Fathers, We All Fall Down, and The Midnight Ride of Jonathan Luna.
He is also the writer and editor of Yardbird.com and a reporter for RealReporting.org / NewsLanc.com .
This is a stunning piece of investigative journalism and a documentary which, I think, should be viewed by as many people as possible. Thank you and I hope the word spreads and spreads. Maybe it’s a wake up call for a lot of other communities.
