In Japanese the word "hibakusha" refers atomic bomb survivors. This word is used in the film to refer to all radiation victims. Depleted uranium ammunition was first used on the battlefield during the 1991 Gulf war. Depleted uranium is one of the main radioactive waste products of the nuclear industry; a byproduct of manufacturing of nuclear weapons and fuel rods for nuclear generators. Its inclusion in the United States' standard arsenal has enormous historical significance. After the war, the world paid no heed to the sudden increase in Iraqi children who developed leukemia and cancers, and allowed them to die by using economic sanctions to prevent the country from obtaining the medicines necessary for treatment. These cancer deaths are still increasing, both among the children and in the adult population. This documentary considers the use of depleted uranium ammunition to be a turning point as significant as the nuclear bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The low level radiation from the depleted uranium ammunition makes no distinction between friend and foe, but pollutes areas far and wide, ignoring borders, and continues to slowly kill non-combatants even after the end of hostilities. The movie compares the Iraqi victims of depleted uranium to the hibakusha, the surviving Japanese victims of the atomic bomb, because it is in them that the true nature of modern nuclear warfare is embodied. One doctor, himself a radiation victim, who has spent his life treating patients who ingested residual radioactive particles in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, has for fifty-seven years rang the alarm bell regarding the dangers of chronic internal low level radiation exposure. Its effects have always remained in the shadows as the spotlight has been focused on the obvious effects of direct massive exposure. Even so, and although scientific opinion even today refuses to acknowledge its effects, slow damage from low level radiation sources is on the increase throughout the world today. Low level radiation is invisible, and its effects emerge slowly. The chromosomes it damages are passed on down to the victims' children and grandchildren. This damage is also evident in America, which boasts the world's largest nuclear weapons industry. The farmlands downwind of the plutonium manufacturing plants were contaminated, and the residents fell ill and gradually died without ever even realizing they had been exposed. The same contamination has spread out throughout the world, and now the entire population of the Earth is in danger of becoming radiation victims. Today anyone may become a hibakusha. This movie carefully conveys the voices of the Iraqi, American and Japanese radiation victims. It shows how their health, life and livelihood was damaged, not by their participation in a war, but by exposure that came unnoticed, in the course of their daily lives. The same is happening to each one of us. It is already an established fact that waging wars is no longer a realistic proposition - but what will mankind's choice be? We would like to gently ask everyone who sees this film what lies in their future.
