A core part of our mission as Silent Fallout Project is to uncover hidden truths and bring them to the public through the power of documentary filmmaking.

March 31, 2023 (Japan) / October 1, 2023 (U.S.) – The powerful documentary SILENT FALLOUT is set to hit screens, shedding light on a harrowing chapter of history that has long remained in the shadows. Directed by acclaimed filmmaker Hideo Ito, the film tells the extraordinary true story of how women and children—with nothing but baby teeth—helped expose the devastating effects of nuclear testing and ultimately led to a historic change in U.S. policy.

At the height of the Cold War, the U.S. conducted over 100 atmospheric nuclear tests, spreading radioactive contamination across North America. Fallout infiltrated the food supply, exposing millions—including children—to harmful radiation. SILENT FALLOUT follows the courageous women who refused to stay silent. Their groundbreaking research on baby teeth collected from 320,000 children proved the extent of radiation exposure, forcing the U.S. government to confront the consequences of nuclear testing.

With narration by Alec Baldwin (English version) and Tokiko Kato (Japanese version), this eye-opening documentary presents never-before-seen archival footage, firsthand testimonies, and declassified government documents.
