This 1:18 movie documents the toxic effects of military live ordnance testing on Isla de Vieques in Puerto Rico. Flora and fauna, including the people living there, have exhibited much higher levels of heavy metals in their systems. Residents display higher incidence of neurological disorders, liver and kidney disease, hypertension, cancer, and diabetes but courts refuse to hear their cases. It's very sad, especially the scene where a goat is tethered and then exposed to some toxic material and falls over in apparent agony. It's not really entertainment but this story is a cautionary tale for us all.
