518    Originally produced by California Newsreel in 2008. 
520    Two billion people worldwide are infected with the TB 
       bacillus, but only 9 million people a year actually get 
       the disease. The story of the Marshall Islands can help us
       understand why. The lives and health of Marshall Islanders
       in the equatorial Pacific were disrupted in a unique 
       fashion when the United States occupied their nation and 
       used their outer islands for extensive nuclear testing 
       after World War II. Between 1946 and 1958, 67 atomic 
       devices were detonated, the estimated yield equivalent to 
       1.7 Hiroshima blasts every day for 12 years. After 
       miscalculations on one of the largest explosions caused 
       fallout to land on three inhabited islands, residents were
       treated, relocated, and tracked to study the effects of 
       radiation exposure on humans. Hundreds of other 
       Marshallese were moved off their home islands to make way 
       for the testing and to build the Ronald Reagan Missile 
       Testing Site on Kwajalein Island. Their lands, culture, 
       and traditional way of life destroyed, many Marshallese 
       now crowd the island of Ebeye hoping to get a job at the 
       U.S. base on nearby Kwajalein. Here, they face the worst 
       of both the developing and industrialized worlds. 
       Tuberculosis and other infectious diseases are fed by 
       poverty and squalid conditions. Lack of economic 
       opportunities and healthy food options, combined with the 
       stress of dislocation and cultural loss, have also led to 
       high rates of chronic illnesses like diabetes, heart 
       disease, hypertension, obesity and cancer. Three miles 
       away on Kwajalein, American contractors and their families
       enjoy a pleasant suburban environment. Health outcomes 
       here are comparable to the U.S. Although more than 1,100 
       Marshallese work on Kwajalein, they're not allowed to live
       there and must commute by ferry to and from Ebeye, where 
       power outages and sanitation issues are a continuing 
       problem. Today, around 10,000 Marshall Islanders, seeking 
       a better future, have ended up in the unlikely place of 
       Springdale, Arkansas. A special treaty allows Marshallese 
       citizens to live and work in the U.S. freely without a 
       visa. Drawn by plentiful jobs in the food processing 
       industry and a low cost of living, most are happy to have 
       better educational opportunities and healthier options. 
       But even though the Marshallese can leave the impoverished
       conditions of their homeland behind, they can't escape the
       effects of having lived in poverty. They must also cope 
       with the stress of an unfamiliar environment. Rates of 
       tuberculosis and other infectious diseases among 
       Marshallese living in the U.S. are far above the national 
       average. Chronic disease rates are also high. In the U.S. 
       tuberculosis rates fell 70% between 1900 and 1945, even 
       before the drug to treat the disease was invented. Better 
       housing, sanitation and improvements in our standard of 
       living were key. The health problems that Marshallese 
       people experience today are the price they've paid to help
       the U.S. maintain a strategic military presence in the 
       Pacific. Our relationship with the Marshall Islands has 
       shaped much of its fate over the past 60 years; it can 
       also help improve their prospects for life and better 
       health in the future.
