Moruroa, mon amour : the French nuclear tests in the Pacific

documentary heritage

"Since the 1960s a small Polynesian island, Moruroa, has become infamous throughout the world as the testing site for the French nuclear bombs.

Until recent years few people were clearly aware of the extent to which atomic mushrooms had regularly poisoned these lovely islands, as well as the sky and the sea. Now the health risks resulting from the forty-one atmospheric tests that have been carried out since 1966 have provoked the wrath of all the nations bordering the Pacific."--back cover.
