The Forgotten Nuclear Victims
55m Β· Documentary Β· History Β· Drama
A documentary on nuclear victims. From 1950 to 1990, France, the USA, and the UK dropped hundreds of nuclear bombs on the Pacific islands, at the cost of sacrificing the local populations. Each country played the clock and hoped for the silent disappearance of the victims of the first generation. But the atom left more traces than expected; genetic abnormalities and pathologies appeared in new generations.
