The US detonated 23 nuclear weapons over Bikini Atoll in the Marshall Islands during the Cold War, the consequences of which still reverberate down four generations to today.
Nuked is a timely new feature documentary focusing on the human victims of the Cold War era nuclear arms race, tracing the displaced Bikinians’ ongoing struggle for justice and survival even as climate change poses a new existential threat.
Using carefully restored archival footage to resurrect contemporaneous islanders’ voices and juxtaposing these with the full, awesome fury of the nuclear detonations, starkly contrasts the official record with the lived experience of the Bikinians themselves, serving as an important counterpoint to this summer’s Oppenheimer.
Join director Andrew Nisker for a post-screening Q&A. Moderated by Marc Glassman, film writer, adjunct professor at Toronto Metropolitan University and editor of POV Magazine.
