Winner of Best Documentary at the 2025 deadCenter Film Festival, this intimate, character-driven film from Oklahoma City filmmakers Ty McMahan and Kevin Ford, executive-produced by Errol Morris, follows Marshall Islands survivors of U.S. nuclear weapons testing as they rebuild their lives in Enid, Oklahoma. Special screening with filmmakers in attendance!
Few of us could pick out the Marshall Islands in the South Pacific on a map, but for a period from 1946 to 1958, it was ground zero for U.S. atomic bomb testing. Many of the islanders relocated from their homes to rural Enid, Oklahoma. This new documentary, executive produced by Errol Morris, takes us into the lives of these survivors and their descendants as they reflect upon the impact of these weapons.
The film is directed by Oklahoma City filmmakers Ty McMahan and Kevin Ford and produced by Okahoma City production company Allsweet. Tickets are available at okcmoa.com/film.
Filmmakers Ty McMahan and Kevin Ford will be in attendance and will participate in a Q&A after the screening.
