‘Extraordinary, haunting documentary... An incredibly distinctive, inventive film‘

‘Provides a lens into an adversely affected community that is often ignored by mainstream media... Demon Mineral opens up a critical discussion about the long-term effects of mining and the systematic oppression of the indigenous community which is why I highly recommend the film for courses with an interest in environmentalism, human rights, public health, and indigenous studies.‘

‘Demon Mineral amplifies the voices of those affected by uranium mining, shedding light on their struggles and celebrating their tireless efforts for environmental justice and healing. [...] This anti-nuclear, Navajo-centered documentary would make a fantastic addition to nearly any library collection. Highly recommended.‘

‘Demon Mineral paints a devastating portrait of bureaucratic inaction and its long-term impact on human life. This fascinating documentary employs an array of well-sourced scientific data, coupled with archival and on-the-ground footage, to bring into vivid focus the heartbreaking toll of omnipresent radiation on the Arizona, New Mexico, and Utah Indigenous population... The illuminating Demon Mineral is an essential vehicle for those directly impacted by this dire situation to draw attention to their plight.‘

‘A film manifesto that is intelligent in both its form and narrative content.‘

‘Austin's direction is precise, and though the film is presented more like a mosaic and less like a linear narrative, the experience is profoundly affecting. Demon Mineral is a damning indictment of the U.S. government's negligence and violence toward Indigenous communities and serves as a strong companion piece to last year's Oppenheimer, showing just how far-reaching the negative effects of the nuclear arms race were.‘
