"The Doctor, the Depleted Uranium and the Dying Children"
by Freider Wagner and Valentin Thurn -- Produced by Ochowa-Film for WDR, 2004
This award-winning, 54-minute, German Public television documentary exposes uranium contamination on the streets of Baghdad. It documents and analyzes the use and health effects of uranium weapons in Gulf Wars I and II. Filmmakers followed on-the-scene investigations in Iraq by Dr. Siegwart Horst-Gunther, the German physician who first brought out hard evidence of the US use of so-called 'depleted' uranium (DU) weapons during the Gulf War, with Tedd Weyman, head of field investigations for the Uranium Medical Research Center. Filmmakers also interviewed the German researcher Axel Gerdes, who found DU contamination in the New York reservists tested by the NY Daily News, as reported in April and September, 2004.
This documentary will rouse neighbors to demand mass spectrometry of urine samples for returning soldiers, as Connecticut legislators consider House Bill 6008. (Only mass spectrometry establishes the difference between natural and unnatural exposures, by revealing the exact ratios of uranium isotopes.)
We are ready with contracts to show this documentary at medical colleges, churches, temples, schools and town halls.
Your area nurses, doctors, students, soldiers, veterans, military families, service clubs, need to know.
Help neighbors break free from the headlocks that weapons dealers try to put on mainstream culture. Contract to show this film. Organizers will need to collect $2 or more per person present to cover costs. Trusted colleagues, please call. Co-sponsors can name their appropriate action steps right after the film showing.
The power of this vivid story can support your NO-DU campaign, or support conscientious objectors.
At a preview next week, and at public showings all summer, co-sponsors can facilitate discussion and name their choice of action steps to abolish the manufacture and use of uranium weapons. We can supply support materials and news about what neighbors are doing nationwide.
This video is a tool that will move people.
“You can make a difference!” Some of these are easy steps:
* Calling the press and TV stations to ask questions, and insist on coverage;
* Distributing DU warning cards to Iraqi’s, students, recruits, and US troops; (British troops are are warned.)
* Advocating for the right medical tests-- proposed state by state, in CT, NY, WA and LA state legislatures;
* Advocating for appropriate research, through Rep. Jim McDermott’s bill, or independent labs, including in Iraq;
* Demanding labeling with the appropriate “RADIOACTIVE” placard for DU shipments, on roads, rails and water;
* Calling on members of Congress to stop DU manufacture and use;
* Organizing educational programs – with speakers, films and action planning;
* Creative arts approaches, using poetry, street theater and other art forms;
* Direct nonviolent action, as when 8 demanded to speak to manufacturers and were found not guilty of trespass in Hennepin County, MN District Court, December 10 and 14, 2005;
* Taking non-violent protests to the streets, federal buildings, recruiters, manufacturers, Congressional offices;
* Legal action to compel the US to stop manufacturing and using uranium weapons or to defend non-violent protestors;
* Health care and environmental action in Iraq.
For a contract call, Sunny Miller, Executive Director (413) 773-7427
