Cold War Dirty Science

Weapons of Mass destruction are seen as a singularly modern concern. But this film reveals the secret story of Britain's development of WMD after WWII, half a century before Bush and Blair and 'the axis of evil'.

During the decade following WWII, British scientists planned not for peace but for a war which would be fought with chemical and biological weapons of mass destruction.

Recent revelations expose the dangerous, top secret tests which put the British public at risk.

 

  
" A Disturbing documentary, part of The Last Decade Season, reveals the most secretive programme yet conducted during peacetime.  Here , servicemen recall how their rights were sacrificed in the interests on national security."

The Times


" This documentary uses a wealth of declassified material to recall one of Britain's most secretive peacetime operations."

The Telegraph


"Fascinating footage of experiments and interviews with witnesses"
