Radio Bikini (1988)

Robert Stone's Academy Award–nominated documentary reconstructs the 1946 Operation Crossroads nuclear tests at Bikini Atoll. Built largely from previously unseen U.S. government archival footage and eyewitness accounts, the film recounts the relocation of the Bikini Islanders and the experiences of American sailors who were exposed to radioactive fallout during the experiments. The documentary later aired as part of the PBS series American Experience.

I like this Documentary a lot, but it certainly is not an Oscar material. It is emotionally manipulative. Nice editing though, but there weren't any original material, just footages after footages of the oldies. Possibly only enjoyable for the hippies and leftists. God Bless America.

Incredibly depressing, but well done documentary on Operation Crossroads, containing both perspective on the displaced natives of Bikini and the American GIs who were exposed to dangerous amounts of radiation. The only missing element was the perspective of the crew of the Lucky Dragon, the Japanese Fishing vessel that was also exposed to deadly amounts of radiation. A sobering film that is a must for anyone with an interest in the Cold War.

Horrific and moving effort from Robert Stone. "You Are My Sunshine" was never so tragic a song as it is in this film.

Interesting documentary about the despicable nuclear explosions at Bikini Atoll, which destroyed a beautiful tropical paradise and displaced its residents for the sole purpose of showing the rest of the world that the United States had the biggest balls on earth. I did feel like there was something lacking in this documentary though - maybe because I'd seen most of the footage already in my favorite nuclear documentary "The Atomic Cafe" so it seemed a little worn-out, but if you haven't seen a documentary about this subject before, I highly recommend it.

This is a pretty haunting documentary about the atomic bomb tests on the Bikini Atoll following WW2. There is no narration and this works great for the film, letting the archival footage and the two interviewees do the speaking. Stone also prefers to show this situation as an absurdly terrifying one, specifically with the sequences where they are tying up animals to see what radiation does to them with a liturgical song being played over it and when the second bomb goes off there is island music playing for the duration. The way that he deals with John Smitherman (the sailor who was hurt by the fallout) and does not reveal his deformity until the end is both captivating and disturbing. This would make a great companion piece to The Day After Trinity.
