Product Overview
In this alarming documentary, Australian servicemen and nomadic aboriginals reveal the devastating effects of British atomic weapons testing carried out in Australia during the 1950s.
Appearing on camera for the first time, members of the Royal Australian Army, Navy, and Air force describe previously classified aspects of the 12 atomic bombs tested in the Australian wilderness, while various experts describe the continuing effects felt from the radio-active dust clouds that spread from the Maralinga test sites across the country.
Featuring the use of rare archival film, photographs, and eyewitness accounts from Aboriginal elders who stood exposed, watching the mighty fireballs tear apart the skies and poison their lands, Australian Atomic Confessions chronicles the hidden history of these tests and expose previously unknown government cover-ups that continue today.
