TRAILER
The long-lived casualties of nuclear testing
The United States conducted 67 nuclear and thermonuclear tests across a twelve-year span at Bikini Atoll and Enewetak Atoll from 1946 to 1958. They started July 1, 1946 , with "Operation Crossroads" (Shot Able) at Bikini Atoll. Castle Bravo (March 1, 1954) was he largest U.S. nuclear test ever detonated, yielding 15 megatons - a thousand times greater than the power of Hiroshima.
67 Bombs to Enid, executive produced by Errol Morris, is an intimate, character-driven documentary about the survivors of the nuclear weapons testing in the Marshall Islands. The film exposes the legacy of a particularly dangerous and damaging moment of American exploitation of people and land. We see how the life spans of a population has been cut short and many are diabetic - how their lives have been crippled and cut short in so many ways. They have been left a damaged, disadvantaged people struggling to make a life.
As for the land, parts of the Marshall Islands from which the Marshallese come will remain dangerously radioactive for thousands of years due to long-lived isotopes like plutonium-239 and americium-241, which have half-lives of up to 25,000 years. The film includes some PR recordings from the period that show the extreme callousness of the white Americans "taking charge" of public opinion on these activities. (There could have been more information about these.) Let's not forget that the islanders are. dark skinned, people of color, nor fail to perceive the element of racism and other -isms in the post-bombing exploitation and abuse.
67 Bombs to Enid particularly focuses on a migration of the Marshall Islands refugees to Enid, Oklohoma., a transplantation due to the Compact of Free Association (COFA). Under the 1983/1986 COFA treaty, Marshallese citizens gained the right to enter, live, and work in the United States indefinitely without a visa. The move to Oklahoma was prompted by a school, Enid's former Philips University. In the early 1980s, American Christian missionaries connected with the islands, and the then Phillips University began offering scholarships to Marshallese students. Early student arrivals brought over their families. Word-of-mouth, family reunification, and established community networks steadily grew the Marshallese population in Enid to several thousand residents.
There are now something like 46,000 Marshallese living on the US Mainland. This is their story Important to know about. A chapter in the story of the fallout from the misuse of nuclear weapons.
