The documentary film “To Use A Mountain”world premiere,  exploring the ongoing  struggle to license and store the nation’s nuclear waste at Yucca mountain and other sites,  premiered  on April 7, 2025  at Visions du Réel (International Competition) in Switzerland.

Director, Cinematographer, Editor: Casey Carter accompanied the Nevada Desert Experience Sacred Peace Walk in 2023, and credits the activists he joined on the Peace Walk in assisting him in furthering his understanding and inspiration going into this important film. In a letter written to those he joined on the Peace Walk Mr. Carter wrote.”

“As this year’s Peace Walk approaches, I am reminded how inspired I was by the time spent walking those many miles with all of you in 2023 – through the sun, rain, and even snow! And continue to be inspired by your commitments to this activism year after year.”

“Remarkably, this film now feels even more relevant in 2025 than it did when I first began to imagine the project in 2017 – especially at home in the US. On that note, I am also excited to share that the US premiere will be held in Texas, on April 28, in competition at the Dallas International Film Festival.”

We wish to congratulate Mr. Casey Carter for this significant achievement! Vitally important to Las Vegas and Nevada, this film  underscores the  importance of activism and the Nevada Desert Experience Sacred Peace Walk in preventing  the federal government’s effort to turn Nevada into a nuclear storage wasteland.    Join with us to continue this important work.

Our walk begins at the National Atomic Testing Museum, 8:30 am on April 13, 2025. For complete information go to NevadaDesertExperience.org   or call Brian Terrell @ 773.853.1186.
