Hidden Wars of Desert Storm (2000)
Director: Gerard Ungerman, Audrey Brohy
Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
This investigative documentary, narrated by John Hurt, goes behind the scenes to explore the underlying Western motivations for the first Gulf War (Desert Storm, 1991), and the 'unfinished business' in the region that was to accelerate the drive to a second military campaign. More than a historical piece, however recent, the film is an important aid to understanding the dangerous mechanisms at work in the Middle East, the American military-industrial complex and beyond.Author: GE
