The Rainbow Warriors of Waiheke Island plot

On July 10, 1985, the Rainbow Warrior, the flagship of environmental organization Greenpeace, sank as a result of bombs placed by the French secret service. One of the permanent crew members lost his life. The attack was in response to Greenpeace's actions against the nuclear tests on the Mururoa atoll, which immensely influenced public opinion towards the tests. The crew of the ship at the time, a small part of which now live in a harmonious community on New Zealand's Waiheke Island, looks back on the early days of the Rainbow Warrior, an old, rusty ship that, with some Dutch money and above all a lot of unbridled effort. of the volunteers were transformed into the figurehead of environmental activists.
