A timely and urgent story with global implications

Official Teaser Trailer for SOS – The San Onofre Syndrome: Nuclear Power’s Legacy that is now getting enthusiastic screenings in communities around the country and the world. 

Thirteen years in production, SOS was begun by filmmakers Mary Beth Brangan and James Heddle in response to Fukushima in their recognition that California had – and has - its own potential Fukushimas, right here at home.  Morgan Peterson joined the SOS Team later on as co-director and principal editor.

The film, which garnered a Grand Jury Award for Feature Documentary at its World Premiere in Hollywood’s Awareness Film Festival in October, tells the dramatic story of how local residents educated themselves, organized and evolved strategies and tactics that were successful in shutting down the plant’s pair of defective, leaking reactors, despite the utility’s plans to continue their operation. 

Then, to their dismay, they realized their work was not yet done.  They had to continue their education and organizing efforts in opposition to plans by Southern California Edison and Holtec International to store xx tons of high level, radioactive waste in thin-walled, corrosion-prone metal canisters located over active earthquake faults in a tsunami zone just yards from the rising sea.

Nuclear Power’s Legacy

The film’s sub-title refers to the two aspects of nuclear power’s legacy portrayed - The proven impact of the People Power of informed citizen action; and The eternal challenge of responsible nuclear waste management.

SOS – The San Onofre Syndrome is designed to alert and inform citizens in America’s seventy-plus existing reactor communities – and others around the world - about the empowering lessons learned in California, and of how the recommended approach of ‘rolling stewardship’ can be applied to their unique circumstances.
