518    Originally produced by The Video Project in 2010. 
520    The world's nuclear power plants have generated an 
       estimated 300,000 tons of high-level radioactive waste 
       that must be safely stored for 100,000 years or more. 
       Every year, they generate another 12,000 metric tons of 
       high-level waste. Into Eternity is the first feature 
       documentary to explore the mind-boggling scientific and 
       philosophical questions long-term nuclear waste storage 
       poses. Structured as a message to future generations, the 
       film focuses on the Onkalo waste repository now under 
       construction in Finland, one of the first underground 
       storage facilities. Onkalo is a gigantic network of 
       tunnels being carved out of bedrock that will start 
       receiving Finland's nuclear waste in 2020. Once the 
       repository is full, in about 100 years, it will be closed 
       and hopefully remain sealed for at least 100,000 years. 
       Into Eternity takes viewers deep into the Onkalo facility 
       as it is being constructed and asks Onkalo representatives,
       scientists, theologians and others to address fundamental 
       but challenging questions. How can our civilization know 
       what the world will be like in 100,000 years? The first 
       modern homo sapiens appeared about that long ago and no 
       human structure has survived more than 5000 years. How can
       we anticipate climate and geologic changes that far in the
       future? What will life on our planet be like then? How do 
       we warn distant generations of the deadly waste our 
       civilization left behind? What languages or signs will 
       they understand? How do we prevent them from thinking they
       have located the pyramids of our time or some other 
       treasures? With its stark, stylistic approach, Into 
       Eternity not only raises questions about the possibility 
       of long-term nuclear waste storage, but also invites 
       reflection on the limits of science and human knowledge, 
       along with our responsibility to future generations.
