SOS: The San Onofre Syndrome is a documentary film that emphasizes the significant potential health risks and environmental consequences from the millions of pounds of harmful radioactive waste placed at the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station only 108 feet from the rising ocean that could affect present and future generations. Mismanagement of toxic long-lived radioactive waste is a syndrome shared by many nuclear reactor sites in the United States and beyond.[1] It was directed by James Heddle, Mary Beth Brangan, and Morgan Peterson.
The film has earned recognition at several prestigious cinema festivals. It received the Grand Jury Award for Documentary Feature at the 2023 Awareness Film Festival in Los Angeles, California,[2] as well as the Best Educational Documentary Award at the 2024 International Uranium Film Festival in Rio de Janeiro.
