Content description from Worldcat (https://www.worldcat.org/title/human-face-of-the-pacific-the-marshall-islands-living-with-the-bomb/oclc/959236090):
The people of the Bikini Atoll were removed from their homelands as a result of American testing of nuclear bombs in the Pacific. They now live on another island, dependent on American food and support. They can never go back to Bikini Atoll because it is poisoned beyond the possibility of habitation. This film is a poignant, impressive study of a people whose culture has been vanquished.
