This Australian documentary was made about twenty-five years after atomic tests were first conducted in South Australia during the 1950s.
Former South Australian Premier Don Dunstan viewed some of the film's rushes. Director Harry Bardwell writes: ''Don
Dunstan, now an ex-politician, asked if he could view the Yalata footage in at the
MRC [Media Resource Centre]. I got out the Bell and Howell. Don showed up. I remember noting that his
trademark safari suit was split at the seams. I also remember being a little
embarrassed when the screen fell off the wall half way through the screening. Don
seemed unfazed. He said little other than that was very important footage. Later I learnt that he was at a turning point in negotiating the first native title land claim for
the Pitjantjatjara to return to their traditional lands.''
This documentary features more than twenty interviews.
Harry Bardwell's trip to Yalata with a film crew was his first ever visit to a remote indigenous Australian Aboriginal community settlement.
According to Australian film distributor Ronin Films, ''the film helped to trigger both a House of Lords enquiry in Britain and a Royal Commission in Australia chaired by Justice James McClelland.''
