The Hidden Wars of Desert Storm (2001)
"Hidden Wars of Desert Storm" looks at the origins of the Gulf War crisis and challenges the official Western "party-line" view of a spontaneous crusade for "Freedom & Democracy". Instead, the documentary exposes the White House and US State Department's hidden agenda in the Gulf as well as the Pentagon's use of radioactive ammunitions made of uranium 238.

How sad is this?
It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.
It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
this film assembles the context for the last gulf war, the current gulf war, and the relation of the post-balfour west to iraq.the battery of interview subjects assembled is massive, from former diplomats to gulf war combat vets.there are about 3 hours of material crammed into this one-hour film, which can be a bit much all at once; as any good war documentary should hidden wars provides the viewer with the most relevant details that make sense of the current conflict.if the causal elements and context were included in current events discussion and coverage, films like these would not be necessary; until then, a movie like hidden wars fills in all the blanks. excellent work.
