The first screening of “The Nuclear Frontier” documentary is set to premiere on Sept. 15 at the Kennedy Center of the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C. at 5 p.m. Eastern Time.
A reception will follow at 6 p.m. Eastern Time, which includes a keynote address, panel discussion and premiere screening. The link to RSVP for the premiere is available on the documentary’s website.
The documentary, directed by Evan Mascagni who recently became pro-nuclear, outlines young nuclear power advocates and business leaders as they push for the growth of nuclear energy in the United States.
The documentary filmmakers said South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster (R) will also be honored at the premiere for being a continued supporter of the use of nuclear power in his state. Nuclear energy produced 55% of the in-state electricity generation in 2023.
The Sept. 15 premiere will mark the beginning of a nine-state tour with screenings on 14 college campuses. According to “The Nuclear Frontier’s” Aug. 26 press release, the filmmakers will travel from Sept. 16 to 29 for the screening tour.
