Black Mist, White Rain was a four city speaking tour presented by ICAN, the International Coalition Against Nuclear Weapons, focussing on the idea that for many people in Australia and the Pacific nuclear weapons are not an abstract threat but a lived reality, and it is indigenous peoples who bear the brunt of this.
Exploring the stories of people who live with the ongoing consequences of nuclear testing, this episode of Women on the Line brings you excerpts from the Melbourne evening of the tour on Tuesday April 5th, which included speakers Abacca Anjain-Maddison from the Marshall Islands, Sue Coleman-Haseldine, a Kokatha-Mula woman living in Ceduna, South Australia, and Karina Lester, a Yankunytjatjara-Anangu woman who lives in Adelaide.
