The Forgotten Nuclear War - Exodus In the Pacific Ocean

Duration 47m

The first victims of the arms race of the superpowers during the Cold War were of all those who had never participated in an armed conflict: the inhabitants of the Eniwetok Atoll in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. After ten years with forty-four nuclear weapons tests, an uninhabitable, contaminated lunar landscape remained. The two-part reportage by Stefan Aust and Detlev Konnerth provides insights into the life of the islanders, who are still caught up in their victim roles.
