Yellow Cake – Die Luege von der sauberen Energie YELLOW CAKE – THE DIRT BEHIND URANIUM The film accompanies the biggest clean-up operation in the history of uranium mining and takes the viewers to the big mines in Namibia, Australia and Canada. Uranium mining, the first link in the chain of nuclear de - vel opment, has managed again and again to keep itself out of the public eye. A web of propaganda, disinformation and lies covers its 65-year history. The third largest urani - um mine in the world was located in the East German provinces of Saxony and Thuringia. Operating until the Reunification, it had the code name WISMUT and sup - plied the Soviet Union exclusively with the much soughtafter strategic resource Yellow Cake. Until 1990 WISMUT supplied the Soviet Union with 220,000 tons of uranium. In absolute terms, this quantity was enough for the production of 32,000 Hiroshima bombs. For the last 20 years, WISMUT has been making a huge material and financial effort to come to terms with its past, which is an alarming present and future on other continents. For five years, the filmmakers accompanied the world’s largest sanitation project in the history of uranium mining. During that time the world market for uranium changed in a dramatic way. Uranium has advanced to become one of the most sought after resources in the world. While shooting this film, the price for uranium on the world market increased twenty times … World Sales HS Media Consult Wasenstrasse 29 · 72135 Dettenhausen/Germany phone +49-7 15-7 62 00 08 email: info@hsmedia-consult.de · www.hsmedia-consult.de Genre Environment/Ecology Category Documentary Cinema Year of Production 2005-2010 Director Joachim Tschirner Screenplay Joachim Tschirner Directors of Photography Robert Laatz, Jana Marsik, Lars Barthel, Johann Feindt, André Goetzmann, Christian Maletzke Editors Joachim Tschirner, Burghard Drachsel Music by Fred Krueger Producer Joachim Tschirner Co-Producer Klaus Salge Pro duction Company Um Welt Film Produktion/Berlin, in co-production with Novemberfilm/Berlin Length 108 min Format HD Cam, color, 16:9 Original Version German, English Subtitled Versions English, German Sound Technology Dolby SR With backing from Medienboard Berlin-Branden burg, BKM, Mitteldeutsche Medienfoerderung, German Federal Film Board (FFA), DEFA Foundation, ARTE, RBB, MDR Joachim Tschirner was born in Wittenberge in 1948.
