Nuclear Waste and MOX in New Mexico

Videos marking the 20th anniversary of the bombing of the Greenpeace flagship, the Rainbow Warrior, by agents of the French government in Auckland Harbour, New Zealand. On the night of July 10 1985 the Rainbow Warrior had been docked in harbour for three days while preparations for the protest voyage to the nuclear test site at Moruroa Atoll were finalised. Just before midnight two bombs exploded sinking the ship and killing cameraman Fernando Pereira. Shoot includes an interview with Peter Willcox, Rainbow Warrior Captain in 1985.

Also includes two stories about the voyages by Greenpeace's yacht Vega, skippered by David McTaggart, into the French exclusion zone around the Moruroa Atoll in 1972 and 1973 to protest against French nuclear testing and in 1981, nearly ten years later, the Vega returns once again to Moruroa to protest at France's continued detonation (now underwater) of neutron bombs that have blown one side off the atoll and caused a huge crack in the side to open resulting in the release of radiation into the ocean.
