Since 1945, more than 2,000 nuclear weapons tests have been conducted worldwide. Though the era of atmospheric testing in 1996, the radiation issues remain an active crisis for millions. Our Planet, The People, My Blood is a global exposé of the communities devastated by Nuclear Weapons Testing.
Through Alan Owen, the descendant of an Atomic Veteran, we discover just how widely these radiation issues spread. From the soldiers who were forced to witness the bombs, to the Hibakusha who were impacted in Japan, to the Marshallese people whose lands were vaporized by the tests. The issues affecting these communities are wide spread and very little documented in modern history.
Not only have these tests impacted these communities directly, but they have touched every single person alive today through the global spread of fallout. With the current surrounding news of war, and the possibility of Nuclear Weapons Testing restarting once again, this film reveals the truth about an issue that doesn’t just affect these communities, but everyone alive today.
