Marshall Islands, Ebeye (Atolls) Part 2
Take a look into the American base situated in one of the most idyllic Pacific nations in the world - the Kwajalein Island just north of the equator in the western Pacific
Foreign Correspondent gain rare access to a top-secret, Club Med style base in the vast Pacific which can 'see' everything that moves across a third of the globe and deep into space. But just across the lagoon lies a squalid third world.
As it happens nuclear testing, for real, had a long and tragic history only a few hundred kilometres from Kwajalein. Bikini Atoll was the site of a series of extraordinary atomic tests conducted by the United States in 1946.
But traditional landowners of Kwajalein Atoll say US compensation is inadequate and their people shouldn't have to continue to live in slums on the island of Ebeye, where 15,000 people are crammed into a narrow strip of coral and sand, smaller than a golf course.
