No Nukes is Good Nukes!

New Zealand 2007 / 45min.
Director Claudia Pond-Eyley / Producer Claudia Pond-Eyley

Remember the anti-nuclear debates that led to the passing of nuclear-free legislation in 1987? The intention was serious, but the protests were colourful, lively and entertaining – street theatre, music, and the arts all worked towards raising New Zealanders’ awareness of the issue so close to home in the Pacific.

Renowned artist and documentary film-maker Claudia Pond-Eyley lets the eyewitnesses tell the story of the rise and fall of Aotearoa’s anti-nuclear movement, still so much a part of who we are today.

No Nukes is Good Nukes! is a film about the grassroots nuclear free movement in New Zealand. Historical references are made to the monumental legislation, opposition to French nuclear testing at Moruroa, the N.F.I.P movement for a Nuclear Free and Independent Pacific, as well as addressing ANZUS and beyond.
