DEPLETED URANIUM BIRTH DEFECTS


*Occasionally, a US government memo becomes public - such as the Los Alamos memo (where proponency - lying - is the order of the day), or the Defense Nuclear Agency memo that admits to DU's threat to health - http://grassrootspeace.org/twomemos.html

It was Professor Günther, German doctor for tropical diseases and epidemiology, who was the first to point out the dangerous late effects of uranium-mantled projectiles.

Tons of this ammunition were shelled out by the US army. The film follows him and his American colleagues during their investigations in Kosovo, Bosnia and Iraq. After the end of the latest Iraq war they discovered in the surroundings of Basra contaminated areas, where the radio-active contamination was 20,000 times that of the earth's natural radiation. The film shows the long-term effects, which have affected, above all, children. Günther diagnosed serious disorders in the functioning of the kidneys and the liver, cancer and genetic defects. He is now demanding a complete ban of this ammunition, which is part of the US army's standard equipment.
