The Rainbow Warrior Conspiracy

The Rainbow Warrior Conspiracy is a 1988 Australian-New Zealand mini series based on the Sinking of the Rainbow Warrior. It was written by David Phillips, and directed by Chris Thomson, and stars Jack Thompson, Brad Davis and Germain Houde.

Plot
From 1978 to 1985, the Rainbow Warrior was the flagship of the Greenpeace fleet, active in supporting a number of anti-whaling, anti-seal hunting, anti-nuclear testing and anti-nuclear waste dumping campaigns, during that period. In 1985 it was at the Port of Auckland in New Zealand on its way to a protest against a planned French nuclear test in Moruroa. It was sunk by a bombing operation by the "action" branch of the French foreign intelligence services, the Direction générale de la sécurité extérieure (DGSE), carried out on 10 July 1985. Fernando Pereira, a photographer, drowned on the sinking ship.
