The nuclear bomb tests at Maralinga in South Australia reflect a scandalous and yet unmined part of Australian history.
This Australian television mini-series was filmed in consultation with the local indigenous Maralinga Tjarutja communities living on the Maralinga Tjarutja Lands in far western South Australia, Australia. The key consultants were advisers and translators Gavin Peel and Dennis Brown and Indigenous Cultural Consultant Dr. Jared Thomas.
The first episode's opening title card reads: ''This is a work of historical fiction but a lot of the really bad history actually happened.''
One of two 2019 productions shot in South Australia starring actor James Cromwell. The titles are 'Never Too Late' (2020) and 'Operation Buffalo' (2019).
The favourite catchphrase of General Crankford (James Cromwell) was "tickity-boo".
