Filmed over 12 years, SOS - THE SAN ONOFRE SYNDROME: Nuclear Power's Legacy dramatically chronicles how Southern California residents came together to force the shutdown of an aging nuclear Power plant only to be confronted by an alarming reality: tons of nuclear waste left near a popular beach, only 100 feet from the rising sea, that - with radioactivity lasting millions of years - menaces present and future generations.
The film portrays San Onofre as a microcosm of this national problem - the mismanagement of lethal radioactive waste.
