Ma'Ohi nui, au Coeur de l'océan, mon pays

An inner – as much as a geographical – journey to the archipelago which became the theatre for French nuclear tests. Faithful to her highly intimate, impressionistic approach, Annick Ghijzelings (Terre, terra, terrae, 27 fois le temps) compares the spirit and history of the Ma’Ohi with their fractured present. This film takes the pulse of a colonised people as they strive to hold on their origins and to forge an independent identity.
