67 BOMBS TO ENID

Following the destruction of the Marshall Islands caused by US nuclear weapons testing between 1948 and 1951 (testing that led to a wide range of health problems among the islanders), mοre than 10,000 Marshallese currently live in Enid, Oklahoma, where they have been granted the right to reside and work, but without full rights. The psychological toll of adapting to a new cultural context is heavy, and the film, imbued with rare insight and sensitivity, guides us through the community and everyday life of these singular refugees. Systemic racism, the silent internalization of trauma, the deep yearning for homeland and identity, the erasure of History, and the inextinguishable spark of hope transform, through the lens of co-directors Kevin Ford and Ty McMahan, into an evocative, touching ode to human strength and resilience. An original and brave film, executive produced by the legendary Errol Morris.
