Fallujah: a lost generation
Spécial Investigation, October 2011.
52 minutes. A documentary by Feurat Alani and Yvon Le Gall.
Fallujah, about fifty miles West of Bagdad, in Iraq, is a contaminated city. One in five children are born with an important physical deformity. The potential causes: the use of white phosphorus bombs by the American army, terrible weapons which contained depleted uranium and more bombs that are still unknown. The Pentagon denies it, but people from Iraq, NGOs, previous GIs and, above all, many scientists, denounce it. In the meantime, mass contamination goes on and its consequences seem never-ending.
With CNC and Procirep-Angoa’s support.
