Quite possibly the most stylishly hip environmental flick ever made. The A-Bomb meets a tropical paradise in this tragic tale of the Cold War in French Polynesia. Colorful archival footage and a 1960s Euro-glamour soundtrack chronicle France’s nuclear tests in violation of the international test ban treaty. The film shows how a tiny group of Tahitian radicals fight for their homeland’s natural and cultural heritage by forming an anti-nuke resistance cell.
