When last the Mururoa atoll gained the attention of the world was when French president Jacques Chirac decided that nuclear testing in French Polynesia should go on. This decision met with massive resistance and the tests were ended for good the following year. In Vive La France, filmmakers Titti Johnson and Helgi Felixon visit the nearby island of Tureia to meet Kua and Teariki. The couple's dream of starting a bakery is shattered when they are unable to secure a loan from the bank, due to the risk that the Mururoa atoll may implode, setting off a devastating tsunami. Vive La France reveals the willful existence of a small island community, while delivering a grave lesson on the ecological consequences of nuclear testing and the political ramifications of French colonialism in Polynesia. In this film about the hair-rising consequences of France's nuclear programme, it's plain to see the indifference that was and still is the mark of the Western world. (jakelijan virallinen teksti)
