Fire in the Sky

from A Forgotten History Hosted by NZ Herald

The legacy of French nuclear testing in the Pacific goes well beyond the Rainbow Warrior. In Tahiti, we explore the lasting impacts of the testing programme on the people who had to live with it and reveal what the French government didn’t want Greenpeace- or rest of the world- to see. Written, presented and produced by: John Daniell and Noelle McCarthy Sound design and mix: Marc Chesterman Researchers: Claire Logan and Caroline Fontaine Executive Producers: Ethan Sills and Andrew Laxon Music: Harbour Board, Marc Chesterman, Peter O’ Donoghue For photos and videos related to the story, go to nzherald.co.nz/rainbowwarrior Thanks to Dominique Prieur and Jean Marie Pontaut, authors of Secret Agent, published and copyrighted by the Librairie Arthème Fayard, 1995
