Hear from the film maker, Jeff Gipe, who will tell you he draws on his personal and regional history in his creative work. Growing up near the Rocky Flats nuclear weapons plant, a facility with a deeply complex environmental and social legacy, Gipe has developed an artistic practice that explores the impacts of nuclear production and environmental contamination through sculpture, film, and public engagement. Half-Life of Memory examines the legacy of the Rocky Flats Nuclear Weapons Plant and explores how this history continues to reverberate through the land, nearby communities, and the nation's nuclear arsenal.
