Biological Attacks in China 9:00, 2003 (Ref: AS03328)

Description

Much of the fear around biological warfare is fear of the unknown – how does it affect communities? How would it affect us? We went to Zhe Jiang province in south east China, the only country in the world that can tell us the immediate, short term and long term effects of extensive biological warfare launched at civilians as well as troops. We spoke with those injured during the attacks by the Japanese during WW2 who are still suffering the effects today. Some of the diseases let loose there were the plague, typhoid and anthrax. A powerful, moving and highly polished film.
