Gulf War Illness: Veterans, Civilians and Depleted Uranium | FULL DOCUMENTARY

Why are hundreds of thousands of former American, British, French, and Canadian soldiers affected by a condition known as “Gulf War syndrome”? And why have similar symptoms been reported among civilian populations in the regions concerned? This documentary examines the possible causes of these illnesses, focusing in particular on the controversial use of depleted uranium weapons during military operations. Around this issue, two opposing views continue to clash. Some believe that the use of such weapons constitutes a crime against humanity. Others argue that depleted uranium poses no serious health risk. Between military authorities, political leaders, and those affected, the debate remains unresolved. Over the course of two years, Martin Meissonnier and Roger Trilling conducted an investigation across Iraq, France, and the United States to better understand this complex issue. A factual inquiry into an ongoing and sensitive controversy.
