A quiet Southern California community. A complicated history just beyond the hills.

Cancer Town USA examines the legacy of the Santa Susana Field Laboratory and the questions that continue to surround contamination, disclosure, cleanup and the communities nearby. At its center is one family’s search for answers after discovering they may have been put in harm’s way, and their effort to uncover what was known, what was disclosed, and what may have been left unsaid.
