On Sunday, June 1, 2025 at 5:00 PM, the Lido Theatre at 3459 Via Lido in Newport Beach (Get Map) will offer a FREE showing of the wildly popular independent movie, SOS, the San Onofre Syndrome: Nuclear Power’s Legacy (Get Trailer).
The FREE showing, which is sponsored by the San Diego-based Samuel Lawrence Foundation with the support of Public Watchdogs and San Clemente Green, has been hailed as an inspiring tour de force for citizens who are concerned about the deadly side effects and consequences of nuclear power in the USA and California.
 |
The film, which has received international accolades for editing and storytelling, details the surprising events that led to the shutdown of the largest operating nuclear power plant in Southern California, the failed San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station known as “SONGS.” |
SONGS, which was constructed in 1968, released what the operators claimed was a “small” jet of radioactive steam outside of the facility’s iconic containment domes on January 31, 2012. SONGS never produced electricity again. SOS tells the story of the ordinary citizens and activists behind the closure.
Directed by James Heddle, Mary Beth Brangan, Morgan Peterson, and produced by Mary Beth Brangan, the film is a production of EON – The Ecological Options Network.
