Description A powerful drama of the Greenpeace ship in its last journey through the Pacific. The Rainbow Warrior combines evocative music and striking choreography as it follows the passage of the ship and its crew through their protest actions in French and US territories and their dramatic evacuation of the Marshall Islanders from their nuclear-contaminated homeland. Parallel to this action, the plans of the French Intelligence Agents weave in and around the Rainbow Warrior crew until their final, fatal convergance in New Zealand in July 1985.
