Australia's forgotten nuclear test site

Informações:

Synopsis

Three years before the British atomic tests at Maralinga, in remote South Australia, there were two big tests at Emu Field, a red earth claypan about 200kms from Maralinga. It was 1953, and it was an experiment that took little care to protect Aboriginal people in the wider area, or Air Force personnel who were instructed to fly into the cloud. And yet we barely know anything about it.
