Britain's Atomic Bomb Scandal

2024 · 47 min · ★ 10.0 · Documentary

Documentary exploring the long-term repercussions of atomic bomb tests in the 1950s and 1960s on both the servicemen present, who often had no training or protective gear, and their descendants. From a host of cancers to cardiovascular disease and a surprisingly high number of children born suffering from birth defects or auto-immune conditions, many veterans believe their exposure to these tests caused their poor health.
