Gulf War Syndrome; Aftermath Of A Toxic Battlefield (62 min, 2005)
Join us for a special showing of this powerful and disturbing documentary on
Gulf War Syndrome, the result of the 1991 ”Desert Storm” war in Kuwait and
Iraq. Over 200,000 veterans of the Gulf War are now suffering from chronic
health problems that in many cases make it impossible for them to work and
support their families. This film analyzes the many toxic exposures our
soldiers faced in the Persian Gulf and captures their plight and pain in a
compelling and unforgettable way through interviews with ten veterans.

New Yorkers will find provocative parallels between the health consequences
of prolonged exposure to toxins in the Persian Gulf, including the oil well
fires that burned for months, and the exposure of workers and residents in
Lower Manhattan to the toxic fumes from the World Trade Center fires.

Producer and Director: Alison Johnson. A Johnson/Startzman film.

Please remain after the film for a post-screening discussion with Alison
Johnson. She will also sign copies of her companion book, Gulf War Syndrome:
Legacy of a Perfect War.
