Released in 2020, Nuclear Forever is a documentary film directed by Carsten Rau, running about 94 minutes.

What it’s about. This detailed and sober look at the issue of nuclear power begins where Germany is currently standing: with shutting it off. It’s precisely because the film is anything but alarmist that the alarming aspect of the situation becomes clear. The nuclear nightmare is not over; a safe final nuclear waste repository is not in sight. And yet, boosted by the coal phase-out, many people seem to see “clean” nuclear energy as an option again. The terror of climate change trumps the terror of the nuclear worst case scenario. A zero sum game.

How it landed. With an audience score of 7.5/10, Nuclear Forever has been warmly received by audiences.
