Marshallese Displaced from Home Islands after U.S. Nuclear Testing
VIDEO EXCERPT, Unnatural Causes - Episode 6
Dise Langrus is one of many Marshallese who were relocated from their home islands 40 years ago after U.S. nuclear testing rendered it uninhabitable. Others were moved to make room for the construction of the U.S. military base on Kwajalein Island.
