Far from finding large weapon bases, the Cold War hotspots he discovers in the film are no more than grey desert towns that had been stripped from their original settlers in (re)foundational bloodbaths. Nuclear Family is pierced through by a historical inquiry that is also a personal one – how does one build an individual, family identity when one’s material condition of existence is an enormous pile of dead bodies?
Nuclear Family Nuclear Family
Tormented by his childhood’s nuclear fantasies, Travis Wilkerson (in co-direction with his partner Erin) exorcises his ghosts with a family road movie that takes him to Western USA after missile silos that used to promise an instant apocalypse.
