"A New Island" Between 1946 and 1958 the United States tested 67 nuclear weapons in the Marshall Islands.

A New Island is a documentary about the displaced people of this region who have immigrated to Springdale, Arkansas. They come for better jobs, education, and health care. And they come legally. A New Island introduces us to some of the people who have made this journey, as they try to preserve their island culture while adapting to life in the middle of America.
