BLOWIN' IN THE WIND SYNOPSIS
http://www.frontlinefilms.com.au/videos/blowin.htm

Blowin' In The Wind is the latest film from two-time Academy Award
nominee, David Bradbury - arguably Australia's most contentious and provocative
documentary filmmaker. It examines the secret treaty that allows the US
military to train and test its weaponry on Australian soil. It looks at
the impact of recycled uranium weapons and the far-reaching physical and
moral effects on every Australian. The film's release is timely as the
government currently moves to approve more uranium mines while arguing the
contrary - that by going nuclear we are being both 'safe' and 'green'.

Blowin' In The Wind reveals that Iraqi babies are now being born with
major birth defects. Bradbury wonders whether Australians living downwind
from the military testing ranges will be next. He argues that we were lied to by
the British over the Woomera and Maralinga atomic tests. Can we trust
another equally powerful partner in our 'war on terror'? With a cash budget of
just $12,000 Blowin' In The Wind raises pertinent questions which cannot be
ignored by the Australian public. The film shocked, angered and
surprised large audiences recently when shown at the Sydney and Brisbane Film
Festivals.
