🇰🇵 🇺🇸 Dirty Little Secrets | Rewind
This People and Power film from 2010 investigated accusations that in 1952 the United States acquired and used germ-warfare technology on North Korea. The film followed professor Masataka Mori as he journeyed inside the secretive regime of North Korea to take eye-witness testimony from survivors of, and witnesses to, the germ-warfare attacks. Together with Professor Mori, who has investigated these claims over a twenty year period Al Jazeera's team travelled to the villages and townships where the US Army/Air Force allegedly dropped bombs containing infected insects, rodents and food. Mori's painstakingly acquired trust, and the remarkable evidence he has collected, produced a film which is both extraordinary and controversial - not least because it comes at a time when America and its allies are so determined to prevent North Korea developing nuclear weapons - the most potent of all weapons of mass destruction. In Harbin, China, Mori located survivors of the wartime Japanese army's Unit 731 responsible for germ warfare attacks on China. After the war, the man behind this research co-operated with US Army scientists in return for not being prosecuted for war crimes. Harbin also houses a small research museum dedicated to uncovering the extent of Unit 731's activities - both during World War Two and in the years when America allegedly adopted it. - Subscribe to our channel: http://ift.tt/291RaQr - Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/AJEnglish - Find us on Facebook: http://ift.tt/1iHo6G4 - Check our website: http://ift.tt/snsTgS
