Submission + - The Truth About Weapons Of Mass Destruction
Despite having no budget and a only basic knowledge of history they soon found themselves amongst stockpiles of chemical weapons (with the full co-operation of one of Europe's ministers of defence). It turns out that Europe has a chemical weapons problem and the lads spend a few days filming the clean up process with the dedicated soldiers charged with this dangerous but gallant task.
With discoveries of chemical weapons which only Hans Blix could have dreamed of this film shows how easy it is for any one to find chemical weapons and explores the possibility that one could be easily be brought back to London. A truly explosive critique of the Ministry of Defence, the weapons 'dossier' and any minister who voted for the war in Iraq.
Dear Friends,
Fourman Films is an unfunded and not for profit group of friends who have completed the feature length anti war documentary, 'The Truth About Weapons Of Mass Destruction'. Prior to this film we had no previous media experience. To view the film for free during June and see more about our grassroots campaign to support the troops, bring them home and demand a full enquiry into the war in Iraq see:-

Now that Prime Minister Tony Blair has announced his resignation from the office of Prime Minister, it is even more important to keep up the pressure to call for a full enquiry into the actions of both politicians and civil servants during the lead up to the Iraq War. The bloodshed continues in Iraq unabated, and there is a growing call from the majority who want the troops home safely and out of harms way. Even the troops are calling for it. We want you to join our grass roots campaign to bring the troops home and demand a full enquiry by grabbing a cup of tea and perhaps some biscuits and watching the latest antiwar documentary for free between June 1st and 30th. You will need 106 minutes to watch it. No Marching Required.
With the mainstream media giving little coverage to the growing protest movement, the Police greatly underestimating crowd numbers at protest rallies and the notable absence of news helicopters at rallies (which would show the true size of crowds), it is becoming ever more difficult for people to have their say and have it heard. The British government has no problems in ignoring the many petitions and George bush has recently Vetoed (dictator Style) Congress's decision to withdraw American troops from Iraq.
There is much talk in the media about Tony Blair's impending retirement and his intention to use his so called 'Skills' in the private sector which will earn him a far greater wage than he is currently on. It was reported that he was in discussions with the Carlyle Group about a lucrative directorship. The Carlyle Group is a major company which has profited from the war in Iraq. George Bush Senior is also a Director of the Carlyle Group.
As Tony Blair personally involved himself in gate keeping the now discredited dossier on Iraq and also promoted and then knighted its author John Scarlet, it is obscene to think that he would seek to personally profit from any company which profited from the war in Iraq. To ensure this does not happen the full enquiry must go ahead and further pressure must be made on the government to hold a full and open legal process.
It is also important to look at what the Ministry of Defence and the Security Services knew about weapons of mass destruction prior to the Iraq War. They told us that we were in immediate (45 min) danger from Saddam's WMD's. The government were also in receipt of another report from the security services prior to the Iraq War, stating that the biggest threat to Britain would only occur if Britain Invaded Iraq. Our film displays Europe's Chemical Weapons Problem and how thousands of these are being found in Europe every year.
In order to see what the Ministry Of Defence knew about weapons of mass destruction before putting us all (and our troops) in harms way I am offering you this opportunity to view our antiwar film 'The Truth About Weapons Of Mass Destruction' for free over the internet in June. It is part of an online film festival which, if enough people watch the film it will be shown at a celebrity studded event at the Famous Tribeca Cinemas in New York late July. If successful we are hoping to give the British Anti War Movement a greater platform where it matters the most to Tony Blair. In the United States.
If you could pass this email on to as many friends as possible then there will be a greater chance of us being able spoil Tony Blair's 'Legacy' and demand a full enquiry that is so sorely needed. We hope that you enjoy our film and be sure to rate it highly after you have watched it as that will give us extra points.
