The US detonated 23 nuclear weapons over the Bikini Atoll in the Marshall Islands during the Cold War, the consequences of which still reverberate down four generations to today.
“NUKED,” is a timely new feature documentary focusing on the human victims of the Cold War Era nuclear arms race, tracing the displaced Bikinian’s ongoing struggle for justice and survival even as climate change poses a new existential threat.
Using carefully restored archival footage to resurrect contemporaneous islanders’ voices and juxtaposing these with the full, awesome fury of the nuclear detonations, NUKED starkly contrasts the official record with the lived experience of the Bikinians themselves.
