Metal of Dishonour

Synopsis

Exposes the Pentagon’s use of radioactive weapons in the Persian Gulf and the long-term effects on thousands of people. Follows unsuspecting GIs into contaminated burnt-out tanks, and visitors into Iraqi hospitals filled with deformed children. Includes testimony from veterans and experts such as physician Helen Caldicott, physicist Michio Kaku and former Attorney General Ramsey Clark, all of whom address the Pentagon’s continuing use of human beings as guinea pigs. Questions our illusions of security in a nuclear age.
