On this weeks Edition of Social Justice we will be showing the documentary Hidden Wars of Desert Storm.
Made in the year 2000 and taking two years of investigation, this film by Gerard Ungerman and Audrey Brohy brings answers to questions not only about The Gulf War I in 1991 but also the history of Western involvement and influence in the Middle East that continues right up until today.
You cannot truly understand the conflict in the Middle East and the current Iraq War without going back to 1921 and the beginning of the quest for oil in that region and how World War I and II affected the regional dynamics as former colonial powers struggle to maintain their grip on colonized. This documentary manages to explains all this in one feld masterful swoop.
