DoomsdaysCW2025 #UraniumFilmFestival - IN EXILE
USA, 2023, Director: Nathan Fitch, Producer: Angela Edward, Documentary, English, 12 min.
"In Exile explores the US nuclear legacy in the Pacific through the lens of members of the #Marshallese community in Arkansas. The Marshallese were told their islands in Micronesia were essential for the good of mankind for #OperationCrossroads, a series of nuclear tests in #BikiniAtoll commencing in 1946. In a highly choreographed scene photographed by an array of military cameras, the Marshallese begin the process of leaving their home islands for an exile that has now lasted 77 years. They could not know that their islands would be #vaporized, their waters #poisoned, and their bodies used as test subjects by the US government."
