Investigation of the effects of the UN sanctions imposed on Iraq during and after the Gulf War. The film briefly presents the health care system, which in a decade of sanctions has been “reduced from first-world standards to a third-world disaster,” as one reporter describes it. The international community blames Saddam Hussein whilst the regime and most of its suffering people blame the sanctions. Both sides accuse the other for the increasing number of deaths and illnesses among the Iraqi civilians. This short documentary tries to address the issue of blame.
