Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Based on actual British nuclear tests at Maralinga and Emu Field, where Indigenous populations were deliberately exposed to radiation without informed consent.
Released during the Royal Commission into British Nuclear Tests in Australia, making it uncomfortably contemporary journalism disguised as thriller. The helicopter chase was added to secure funding.
