Indymedia cinema presents: 'XXI CENTURY' - an independent documentary film by Gabriele Zamparini & Lorenzo Meccoli
Part 5 - 'Civilization'
World War I, the collapsing of the Ottoman Empire and the partition of the Middle East. Saddam Hussein and the Baath Party. The close ties between the Reagan and Bush Administrations with Saddam Hussein during the Iran-Iraq war. The use of gas against the Iranians and the Kurds. The weapons of mass destruction and the money behind them. Finally the invasion of Kuwait, the first Gulf war, the UN sanctions against Iraq and their effects on the civilian population.
All of this and much more are discussed by historians, international law scholars, Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War, the former US Attorney General Ramsey Clark and many others.
With other footage from a work in progress by film-maker Sara Fargher who was in Iraq this past summer. Including Q&A.
