TRAILER
Our Planet, The People, My Blood is a global investigative documentary that exposes the long-hidden human and environmental consequences of nuclear weapons testing. Between 1945 and 1996, more than 2,000 nuclear tests were carried out by world powers, directly exposing an estimated 500,000 military personnel and contaminating millions of civilians across multiple continents. For decades, the physical, genetic and environmental impact of these tests has remained largely absent from public discourse.
The film connects firsthand testimonies from Atomic Soldiers, Indigenous communities, and civilian populations in the Marshall Islands, Australia, the United States, Japan, the UK and beyond—many of whom continue to suffer from cancers, birth defects and generational health conditions. These personal accounts are framed within a broader investigation into government secrecy, institutional denial and the systematic refusal to acknowledge responsibility or provide compensation.
At the centre of the narrative is a landmark legal battle against the UK Ministry of Defence, seeking recognition and justice for affected veterans and communities. The story expands beyond national borders, revealing how nuclear testing created a global network of victims linked by shared exposure, silence and injustice. Endorsed by Nobel Peace Prize–winning organisations and backed by parliamentary screenings, the film combines investigative journalism, geopolitical relevance and powerful human storytelling.
As nuclear tensions and weapons rhetoric return to the global agenda, Our Planet, The People, My Blood reframes nuclear testing not as Cold War history, but as an unresolved humanitarian crisis with ongoing political, ethical and public health implications.
