    "The Doctors, the Depleted Uranium, and the Dying Children"
                exposes current radioactive warfare in Iraq.

 
Veterans, military families, activists and interested individuals can now
order an English version of a documentary film produced for German
television by Freider Wagner and Valentin Thurn.

This stunning new video, has just been released by Ochoa-Wagner Produktion
in 2004 in Germany and is available through Traprock Peace Center.

"The Doctors, the Depleted Uranium, and the Dying Children" exposes the use
and impact of radioactive weapons during the current war against Iraq. The
story is told by citizens of many nations and opens with comments by two
British veterans, Kenny Duncan and Jenny Moore, describing their exposure to
radioactive, so-called Œdepleted¹ uranium (DU), weapons and the congenital
abnormalities of their children.

Dr. Siegwart-Horst Günther, a former colleague of Albert Schweitzer, and
Tedd Weyman  traveled to Iraq, from Germany and Canada respectively, to
assess uranium contamination in Iraq.

Weyman led the investigative team that gathered samples for analysis for the
Uranium Medical Research Centre (UMRC). He discusses startling findings of
the 2003 field investigations in Iraq. "The human and environmental samples
have been found to contain depleted uranium and abnormally high levels of
the artificial transuranic isotope, 236U. ... Viewers will see in the film,
evidence of a new class of uranium weapons." These include "bunker defeat"
bombs.

As an M.D., Dr. Günther is especially interested in the health effects that
can be caused by such contamination. At a hospital in Basra, Dr. Jenan
Hassan revealed an on-going health catastrophe--a ten-fold increase in
cancers and a twenty-fold increase in congenital deformities. The grisly
realities of the cancer ward provide an appropriate alarm that could help to
stop the use of these weapons unless it can be shown they will not harm
civilians for generations to come.

Dr. Duracovic, founder of the Uranium Medical Research Centre, and formerly
a Colonel in the U.S. Army, says that the Canadian government wasted a
million dollars on tests provided to Canadian veterans, using faulty
methodology that looked for uranium in the hair, where uranium will not
accumulate.
