Pacific women speak out for independence and denuclearisation

documentary heritage

"Pacific Women Speak Out is a collection of stories of resistance against incredible odds, stories of survival. Indigenous women speak to us from Aotearoa (New Zealand), Australia, Belau (Palau), Bougainville, East Timor, Ka Pae'aina (Hawai'i), Marshall Islands, Te Ao Maohi (French Polynesia) and West Papua (Irian Jaya). They tell of the impacts of invasion and war, nuclear weapons systems, nuclear testing, militarisation, human rights abuses, sexism, tourism, non-Indigenous settlement, mining, industrialisation, imposed economic dependency and all the manifestations of colonisation."--Introduction.
