From the artillery barrages and poison gas of World War I to flamethrowers, anti-tank missiles and bombers capable of destroying entire cities, this episode charts humanity's relentless pursuit of greater firepower.

Between 1946 and 1958, the U.S. detonated 23 nuclear weapons over Bikini Atoll, unleashing a firestorm that would poison four generations. Nuked resurrects the suppressed history of the Cold War’s first victims – the Bikinian people, torn from paradise and condemned to wander a radioactive diaspora. Through meticulously restored archival footage, the film amplifies the voices of those who watched their ancestral home become ground zero, juxtaposing their testimonies against the terrifying spectacle of mushroom clouds that once lit up the Pacific sky. As climate change now drowns their exile settlements beneath rising seas, the displaced fight a dual battle: against the ghosts of nuclear imperialism and the rising tides of an indifferent world. A searing indictment of colonial power and a rallying cry for justice, Nuked asks: When the land itself becomes a weapon, where does survival begin? Director: Andrew Nisker
