This extraordinary undercover report from China exposes the suffering of thousands of Chinese whose lives have been destroyed by nuclear testing. It presents exclusive evidence from inside China of spiraling levels of cancer and birth deformities among the population of Xinjiang province - part of the Great Silk Road - which was opened to tourists in 1985. Up until 1996, China had carried out extensive nuclear tests in the Zinjiang province, which is in the northwest corner of China, bordering Kazakhstan. But Xinjiang is not unpopulated and isolated, as was Bikini Atoll. The filmmakers interviewed both victims and the doctors who are struggling to cope with their medical problems in the region's hospitals. The documentary reveals that the tests were carried out under highly dangerous conditions, which could have consequences beyond China's borders. High School Adult

As we reach the end of the century, Americans are facing some potentially devastating environmental problems. Foremost among them are acid rain, the depletion of the ozone layer, global warming and smog. While there is broad public support for addressing these issues, there is disagreement - both among experts and among citizens - about how damaging these problems are likely to become and how much of our resources we should commit to solving them. Many proposed solutions could take a toll on our lifestyles and our pocketbooks. Environment At Issue is a hard-hitting look at the heated debate over environmental action now occurring in this country. It probes such issues as environmental risk, scientific uncertainty, the costs of environmental action and inaction, and the role of law in protecting our environment. High School College Adult
