As nuclear weapons return to the centre of global political discourse, a new documentary is bringing renewed attention to the long-hidden human cost of nuclear weapons testing.
Our Planet, The People, My Blood premiered at a private parliamentary screening in London, drawing cross-party support from UK Members of Parliament. The film exposes the long-suppressed consequences of nuclear testing, connecting British atomic veterans with Indigenous and civilian communities affected across multiple continents.
Produced and directed by award-winning filmmaker Daniel Everitt-Lock, the documentary was filmed over three years across five countries. It centres on a landmark legal battle against the UK Ministry of Defence, led by the son of an Atomic Soldier seeking recognition and accountability for those exposed to radiation during Cold War–era tests.
“The subject of nuclear weapons testing has been documented before, but the lasting effects on the people directly and indirectly involved have been kept far from the public eye for too long,” said Everitt-Lock. “With global tensions rising and nuclear rhetoric re-emerging, it is more important than ever to understand what is truly at stake.”
Jambika Docs has recently acquired worldwide sales rights to the film, driven by the urgent and universal relevance of the story. “As tensions between global powers rise, it is essential to remember the atrocities committed in the past and their lasting consequences,” said Juan Solera, Head of Sales and Acquisitions at Jambika Docs. “This film reminds us that nuclear testing is not an abstract chapter of history. It has affected millions of people across generations, and its unresolved legacy continues to shape global justice and world peace today.”
Endorsed by Nobel Peace Prize–winning organisation ICAN, veteran advocacy group LABRATS and the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (CND), the film arrives as the UK government has yet to publish findings from an internal inquiry into nuclear testing. As global nuclear rhetoric intensifies, the documentary reframes nuclear testing not as history, but as an unresolved humanitarian and public health crisis.
Our Planet, The People, My Blood will receive a limited theatrical release in the UK in April, ahead of its international rollout.
