Summaries

A documentary on the ecological consequences of warfare in Bosnia, Sudan and Iraq.

The environmental damage occasioned by war and preparation for war is routinely underestimated, underreported, even ignored. In Scarred Lands & Wounded Lives we witness the unprecedented scale of environmental damage over the last half century. We discover that the environment remains war's 'silent casualty.'—Anonymous

In all its stages, from the production of weapons through combat to cleanup, war entails actions that pollute land, air, and water, destroy biodiversity, and drain natural resources. Yet the environmental damage caused by war (and preparations for war) is under-reported, even ignored. The environment is war's silent casualty.—Anonymous
