Moruroa and Us

Polynesians' experiences during Thirty Years of Nuclear Testing in the French Pacific

During the last thirty years thousands of Polynesian men and boys worked at Moruroa 
and Fangataufa, the two atolls in the Pacific where France conducted its nuclear tests. 
A curtain of silence has so far existed around their experiences, motivations and 
anxieties.

In this report a representative number of former workers and islanders living in the 
vicinity of the test -sites speak out. Their hidden histories and problems are revealed.
