Buttons, Baby Teeth, and Bombs: The St. Louis Baby Tooth Project

Rohan Deshpande

Chesterfield, Missouri

Director’s Statement:

“This film explores how the St. Louis Baby Tooth Project - a study to discover how radiation accumulated in the United States (using baby teeth) - had nationwide impacts in politics, public perception, and scientific research.”

Quotes from Reviewers:

“Wow! This is a fascinating project that is very original, seems *Impressively* thoroughly researched and has very good production quality, in my opinion. I was compelled by the storytelling.”

“Grateful to learn about something novel as nuclear testing, political campaigns to address it and public service campaigns to assess the impact. Creatively, the historical footage, documentation, interview with an actual participant and the data provided really added value to the films depth and the ease of which the viewer could really dive in.”
