No To Silent Death (Leningrad
Science Film Studios)
Col, 25 mins, 1983.
Poison gas has been touted as the "humane
weapon", a statement that many victims of gas would disagree with.
This excellent film shows the history of poison gas since its introduction
during World War I, and outlines the very real threat to the globe posed by
binary weapons (where two relatively harmless substances are mixed in transit to
form a lethal gas); and the problem of the vast number of barrels of these
chemicals in storage possibly developing lethal leakages. Amazing old
footage shown includes stills of medieval wars, and TV footage of recent war manoeuvres.
