France, 2016, Director Larbi Benchiha, production: Aligal production and France Télévisions, documentary, French, English subtitles, 52 min.
"Excellent documentary about #France's #AtomicBomb tests in the #SouthPacific at the #MururoaAtoll. The filmmaker allows the surviving atomic tests veterans to speak up. They unknowingly irradiated themselves and their families.
" 'My biggest regret is to have contaminated my daughters, and may be my grandchildren', says atomic bomb veteran Florence Bourel. She had stayed several times at the atomic bases of Moruroa. Her daughter Marion, 22 years, it suffers from several #radiation-induced diseases and #cancer. Like her mother, she is also afraid of the future: '... and if I have children, will they be healthy'“ Florence was proud to work for the good of France. There, in the blue lagoon where the bombs exploded, she was diving and water skiing. 'The hierarchy has never mentioned any risks. They only said we should not eat fish from the lagoon and wipe with a sarong and not a towel.' "
"Dans le documentaire « Bons baisers de Moruroa » diffusé lundi 15 février après le Soir 3, Larbi Benchiha, le réalisateur, aborde le problème des conséquences transgénérationnelles des irradiations des essais nucléaires pratiqués sur l'atoll entre 1966 et 1996."
