Ma'ohi Nui: In the Heart of the Ocean My Country Lies

Ma'ohi Nui: In the Heart of the Ocean My Country Lies 2018 Directed by Annick Ghijzelings Ma'ohi nui, au cœur de l'océan mon pays

For thirty years in the late-twentieth century, the people of Tahiti survived dozens of offshore nuclear tests by the French government. Since the country was colonized in 1880, the blasts left Tahitians picking through the remnants of their islands and culture in an effort to keep indigenous knowledges alive. The film offers a poetic glimpse into contemporary Tahiti, and the colonial struggles its people still face as they strive to sustain their way of life.
