Since 1945 there have been over 2,000 nuclear weapons tests conducted across our planet. The resulting radiation and issues from these tests have impacted not only soldiers involved in the testing programmes, it has touched everyone alive today.

This documentary brings to light the little known, devastating impact of the world’s testing programmes, and how they have impacted different communities and people for millennia to come. 

Filmed over 3 years, Director Daniel Everitt-Lock and his team travelled across 20 different states in the USA (including Hawaii), the UK, Australia, New Zealand and Canada, covering over 100,000 miles. On a shoestring budget, they managed to pull together a world class documentary that was accepted into IDFA’s Docs for Sale Programme, and has gone on to screen privately in UK parliament in January 2026, gaining cross party support for the issue.
