Containment premieres on PBS’s Independent Lens on Monday, January 9, 2017.

In this excerpt from the Independent Lens documentary Containment that features graphic novel style animation, scientists and futurists explain different scenarios in which future peoples, and possibly visitors to planet Earth, need to be warned about our radioactive waste buried underground. Whether it's drilling robots or looting humans, no scenario is too gloom-and-doomy to explore.
