Maralinga: the anagu story -- Ngura: the anagu story |
| Summary |
"Maralinga: the anagu story addresses the secret atomic tests were carried out 50 years ago on Australian soil at a place called "Maralinga" in north–western South Australia. The traditional Aboriginal communities of the region were to be moved for their own safety but somehow they were covered in radioactive fallout. Some of the local Anangu people suffered radiation poisoning and died and many are still enduring the effects of that toxic exposure today. Earlier this year a book of stories and paintings depicting the horrendous results of the testing was published in South Australia. It details those stories, of when the bombs came, first hand." -- website |

"Ngura: the anagu story looks at the Anangu People of South Australia who 25 years ago were allowed to return to part of their traditional lands affected by atomic bomb testing in the 50s and 60s. After what was called a nuclear waste cleanup they moved back to the settlement of Oak Valley in the Spinifex country of their forefathers. So what sort of life do the Anangu people live today? And is their sacred ground, to be returned to them later this year, still dangerously radioactive?" -- website |
